Features and Benefits |
|
|
Ability to “right-size” the file system and the storage volume to the needs of an application.
- Automated provisioning: File systems and storage volumes are automatically expanded online as application needs increase, or shrink to reclaim unused capacity that can returned to the disk group for use by other applications.
- Simple and quick set up and configuration: It takes just seconds to configure, or change policies across multiple volumes. Once they are set, capacity provisioning and reclamation are automatic allowing the administrator to focus on other business critical tasks.
- Reduces capital and operational expenses: Achieving higher capacity utilization rates reduces the need to purchase additional storage capacity and software licenses. In addition, higher utilization results in less power and cooling requirements by reducing the number of disk drives required.
Improves capacity utilization by simply specifying a utilization range of the Vdisk.
- Accelerates storage consolidation: Improved capacity utilization allows more applications to be deployed on the same storage array.
- Management flexibility for greater control: The flexible architecture allows the administrator to easily switch between automatic and manual modes to quickly adapt to changing business needs.
- Protects valuable data: Valuable data is protected by integrating host and storage operations during expand and shrink cycles.
