It looks like some spam drones have put a new article on the same old. Should be merged here, although at first glance there's little useful in it. Someone not using his real name (talk) 22:01, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
- I have to add that this article is pretty much just crappy as that one though. Someone not using his real name (talk) 22:04, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
- Probably the best argument for merging is this. That some vendors might disagree [1] can be handled in the article. Someone not using his real name (talk) 23:14, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- It does seem though that Hu is right in that HSM is understood by several authors [2][3][4][5][6] as the specific IBM-style implementation, which precluded direct access to lower levels of storage without migrating the data back up the hierarchy first, which is no longer the case with flash/hdd hierarchies like Apple's Fusion Drive. So probably a merged article is best titled storage tiering (or tiered storage) and then it should explain the more (or less) generic way in which HSM is seen as a synonym for ATS/AST.

HSM vs ILM
Dropping a note here for the difference, according to one book [7]. Someone not using his real name (talk) 23:48, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
DFSMS redirect
The redirect from DFSMS to HSM is only partially correct. DFSMS stands for Data Facility System Managed Storage, and HSM (DFSMShsm) is one of the functions of DFSMS. DFSMS should be its own page which then links to HSM and other pages. DaveShack (talk) 01:11, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
