|
| | • Simplified and centralized management for your storage infrastructure | | |
|
| | An integrated hardware/software storage solution that uses virtualization technology to simplify the storage infrastructure, reduce the costs of managing storage and enable businesses to grow their storage environments without disrupting their applications. |
| |
| Combine storage capacity from multiple disk systems into a reservoir of capacity that can be managed more efficiently |
| Help increase storage utilization by providing host applications with more flexible access to capacity |
| Help improve storage administrator productivity by automating provisioning and enabling management of heterogeneous storage systems using a simple common interface |
| Support improved application availability by practically eliminating storage related causes of application downtime |
| Enable a tiered storage environment in which the cost of storage can be better matched to the value of data |
| Support advanced copy services from higher tolower cost devices and across storage systems from multiple vendors |
| Reduce costs and improve flexibility with iSCSI host attachment |
| Enable greater flexibility in storage acquisitions |
| Deliver ultra-high performance for critical workloads with innovative and tightly integrated support for solid-state devices (SSDs) |
| Help improve storage efficiency with real-time compression |
