Liitsalvestus

Liitsalvestus, also known as composite storage or hybrid storage, refers to a data storage strategy that combines different types of storage media to achieve a balance between performance, capacity, and cost. This approach leverages the strengths of each storage technology to optimize overall system efficiency.

Typically, liitsalvestus involves pairing fast, high-performance storage, such as solid-state drives (SSDs), with slower, high-capacity storage, such as hard disk drives (HDDs). The primary goal is to place frequently accessed data on the faster storage tier for quick retrieval, while less critical or archival data resides on the slower, more cost-effective tier.

The implementation of liitsalvestus can vary. In some systems, it is managed automatically by intelligent software that analyzes data access patterns and dynamically moves data between tiers. In other cases, administrators manually designate data to specific storage types based on predefined policies. This tiered approach allows organizations to benefit from the speed of SSDs for demanding applications without incurring the high cost of using SSDs for all their storage needs. Liitsalvestus is often employed in enterprise storage solutions, cloud computing environments, and high-performance computing clusters to enhance application responsiveness and reduce storage expenditures.
