Abstract

Systems and methods for dynamically moving virtual machine (VM) data based upon context are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: select a VM having a plurality of VM files; identify, among the plurality of VM files, a movable VM file; and transfer the movable VM file from a first storage tier to a second storage tier based upon a usage classification associated with the movable VM file.
