Abstract
Automated techniques for storing data in a data storage environment. Techniques are provided for determining storage locations for data in a heterogeneous storage environment based upon storage policies configured for the storage environment. The data is stored in storage locations that enable efficient data access while optimizing the use of available storage resources with minimum human intervention.
