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
