1. A method for providing a policy-based information storage management system for digital assets, the storage management system including multiple physical storage subsystems, each with deterministic storage characteristics, the method comprising:

  • receiving a data item related to a subject;

    looking up a record for the subject, the record identifying corresponding digital assets that are stored in the storage subsystems;

    applying a policy to the corresponding digital assets based upon the data item, the policy mapping the data item to at least one digital asset type;

    determining a subset of the digital assets in the record that are relevant to the data item, the relevance determination made in response to application of the policy; and

    migrating the relevant digital assets to at least one designated storage subsystem, based upon corresponding storage characteristics, operable for expediting access to the relevant digital assets.
