= Active IQ Unified Manager is a tool that enables you to define the performance and storage objectives for a workload using Performance Service Levels (PSLs). You can assign a PSL to a workload when initially creating the workload, or afterwards by editing the workload. The management and monitoring of storage resources are based on Service Level Objectives (SLOs), which are defined by service level agreements that are based on required performance and capacity. Active IQ Unified Manager provides a few predefined PSLs, such as Extreme Performance, Performance, and Value, and also allows you to create your own PSLs to meet your needs. You can also apply the PSLs to multiple clusters and workloads to ensure optimal performance and utilization of the underlying resources. References = Performance Service Levels, Managing Performance Service Levels

BlueXP tiering is a service that extends your data center to the cloud by automatically tiering inactive data from on-premises ONTAP clusters to object storage. This frees valuable space on the cluster for more workloads, without making changes to the application layer. BlueXP tiering can reduce costs in your data center and enables you to switch from a CAPEX model to an OPEX model. BlueXP tiering leverages the capabilities of FabricPool, which is a NetApp Data Fabric technology that enables automated tiering of data to low-cost object storage. Active (hot) data remains on the local tier (on-premises ONTAP aggregates), while inactive (cold) data is moved to the cloud tier — all while preserving ONTAP data efficiencies12. References = Learn about BlueXP tiering, Cloud Tiering: Free up Space on On-Premises Storage Systems
