Software

A powerful suite of fully integrated software applications delivers unmatched functionality.

Automated Tiered Storage Automatically classifies and migrates data at the block-level to the optimum tier of storage based on usage.
Thin Provisioning Maximizes storage utilization by only consuming physical disk when data is written by the application, as opposed to allocating capacity upfront.
Continuous Snapshots Creates an unlimited number of space-efficient “Replays” that consume minimal storage space while providing extremely fast recovery from any data hazard.
Thin Replication Replicates space-efficient copies between primary and remote sites to deliver instant disaster recovery without the traditional cost and complexity.
Advanced Virtualization Provides shared storage without restrictions by managing all disks as a single pool and presenting all disk resources to any server.
Boot from SAN Enables the adoption of lower cost diskless servers with the ability to automatically boot and recover servers from the SAN.
Enterprise Manager Delivers multi-site and multi-SAN management from a single console with a real-time view and advanced reporting of all storage resources.

Interface
