Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computing system for defining a storage space having a defined capacity within a storage system. The storage system includes a frontend system and a backend system. A first portion of the storage space is located within the frontend system. A second portion of the storage space is located within the backend system. Usage of a data item stored within the storage space is monitored to identify a usage pattern. The data item is migrated to either the first portion of the storage space or the second portion of the storage space based, at least in part, upon the usage pattern.
