Provisioning Manager Overview
Centralized, policy-based storage provisioning for
NetApp
®
SAN and NAS environments
WHAT IS IT?
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Establishes provisioning policies to manage provisioning and exporting of storageAutomatically provisions a data set when assigned a provisioning policy Checks provisioned storage for policy conformanceManual controls for adding volumes or qtrees to a data set on existing and newly provisioned storage
Manual controls for resizing volumes
& deleting
old Snapshot
™
copies on existing
& newly
provisioned
storage
Provides Storage services that enables a Service catalogueSlide4

Challenges
Manual storage provisioning
is time consuming, error prone,
and complex
How do I manage my capacity
to avoid out-of-space alerts?How do I optimize my storage utilization and increase my storage efficiency?
Administrator ChallengesSlide5

Solutions for Administrators
Automated, centralized provisioning
Automate and control your provisioning tasks from a central console and improve productivity
Policy-driven provisioning enables you to standardize
your storage delivery and meet your SLAsImprove your space managementReceive out-of-space alerts
Easily transition data to other storage systems with offline data migrationIncrease your storage efficiency Use thin provisioning, deduplication, and resource pools to manage your storage capacity and increase your utilizationSlide6

Challenges
Productivity is declining
Unable to meet SLAs
Storage costs are rising
Business ChallengesSlide7

Business Solutions
Centralize and automate your NetApp
®
storage provisioning and improve administrator productivity Meet your SLAs with standardized policies that deliver storage to meet your business requirements
Receive notifications and alerts to identify any capacity-related issues
Contain costs with improved storage efficiencyUse resource pools to consolidate, resize, and provision storage as needed to address over-provisioned, growing, and underutilized storage and to contain costsEnable deduplication and thin provisioning
for space savingsSlide8
