What's FAST? It stands for Fully Automated Storage Tiering. Here's the official EMC announcement about FAST that was released today. Why would you want it? It is a way to automatically provision data to the storage tier that makes the most sense for how the data is being used. For more technical insights, here are some of the blog posts about it:

• Chuck Hollis - Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
• Storagezilla - FAST to the Fullest
• Storage Anarchist - EMC FAST and the Big 5 (Barry Burke will be leading one of the E2E discussions next week)
• Brian Powers - EMC introduces FAST
• Christopher Kusek: One Stop Shop for Symmetrix V-Max FAST docs (pretty comprehensive list!)
