Based on the customer's monthly data access profile, where block data is accessed infrequently but frequently during month-end reporting, the technical architect should recommend a hybrid solution using FAST VP and FAST Cache. FAST VP (Fully Automated Storage Tiering for Virtual Pools) is a feature that automatically tiers data across different types of storage media based on access patterns. With FAST VP, frequently accessed data will be automatically moved to faster storage media such as flash, while infrequently accessed data will be moved to slower, less expensive storage media such as disk. FAST Cache is a feature that increases the performance of Unity storage systems by caching frequently accessed data on flash storage. With this hybrid solution, the customer will have the best of both worlds: high-performance flash storage for frequently accessed data, and lower-cost disk storage for infrequently accessed data. This will help the customer to improve performance during month-end reporting and save costs for infrequently accessed data. It's important to note that this design should be evaluated based on the specific requirements, workloads and expected growth of the customer.

The Dell PowerStore appliance provides two methods to migrate storage resources within the same cluster: Assisted Migration and Volume Motion.

Assisted Migration: This method allows the administrator to manually initiate and control the migration process, and it allows for the migration of individual resources such as LUNs, file systems and snapshots.

Volume Motion: This method allows the administrator to move a LUN or file system from one storage pool to another on the same PowerStore appliance or within the same cluster. This is done without any disruption to the hosts accessing the data and it can be automated with the use of policies.

It's important to note that the Live Migrate and Migrate options are not available to migrate storage resources within the same cluster in Dell PowerStore.
