Priority for storage Tiering

In Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection, the storage Tiering priority is organized in the following order: Hot Tier, Cool Tier, and Archive Tier. This means that the Hot Tier is given the highest priority, followed by the Cool and Archive Tiers. For example, if overlapping policies select the same data for Cool or Archive Tierings, the data is directed to the Cool Tier. The warmer Tier (Hot Tier) always takes precedence in such cases. The Stors that have Storage tiering settings overrides the tiering to the Archive Tier. These settings are based on the last accessed or captured configuration.
