Simple Storage Provisioning

Flexible, non-disruptive storage allocation

Allocation of storage to applications and user groups can be challenging: users rarely predict the right levels of storage and changes in business circumstances change the requirements frequently. In a direct attached storage environment, the spare storage seems to always be in the wrong place. Storage is typically allocated in fixed volumes based on predicted needs. If there is a need to change that volume size, then typically a new volume needs to be set up; the contents need to be migrated to the new volume; and users and applications then need to be mapped to the new volume. For these reasons, storage is usually over-provisioned, this stops users and applications running out of storage soon, but is very inefficient in terms of utilization.

Data ONTAP StoreVault Edition contains unique NetApp technologies, including FlexVol™, which allows capacity to be allocated on the fly without disrupting users or applications. Volumes can also be easily resized on the fly, both up and down, also without disruption to users or applications. FlexVol also enables a technique called thin provisioning, where the total storage allocated can exceed the physical storage. As storage is consumed, StoreVault Manager monitors the level of the central pool and provides alerts when defined thresholds are reached, enabling more physical storage to be added only when it is needed.
