Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for migration between storage tiers. Such a method, for example, can include extracting one or more characteristics of a replication workload, determining one or more storage costs of each storage tier of a plurality of storage tiers (where the one or more storage costs are determined for the replication workload and the one or more storage costs are determined based, at least in part, on the one or more characteristics), identifying one or more storage tiers of the plurality of storage tiers (where the identifying is based, at least in part, on the one or more storage costs), and migrating at least a portion of the replication workload from a target storage unit in an initial storage tier to a storage unit in the one or more storage tiers.
