Data optimization

Automatic data tiering method
Policy-based data migration based on real-time usage, configurable page size from 512KB to 4MB.

Automatic data tiering structure
Depending on the type of drives used: up to three main tiers in a hybrid array, up to two tiers in an SSD array (Write Intensive and Read Intensive drives)

Setting up tiering
User profiles, the ability to “pin” volumes at any tier.

RAID support
RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, RAID 10 and RAID 10 DM (dual mirror); any combination of RAID levels in one array is possible

Data distribution by RAID levels
Automatic resource allocation and dynamic redistribution of data across multiple RAID levels at the same level, no pre-allocation of RAID groups required

Dynamic resource allocation
Active on all volumes by default, running at full performance for all features

Thin snapshots
Only changes to records are saved, snapshots are automatically migrated to a more economical storage subsystem

Intelligent compression
Selected for each volume
Applies to SSDs, HDDs, and both types of drives in hybrid configurations

HDD optimization
FastTrack feature moves frequently accessed data to external tracks for faster response

Volume mobility
The Live Migrate feature included in the base product provides node-transparent data migration between arrays; see also “Federation” section

Federating multiple arrays
The Live Migrate feature included in the base product provides node-transparent data migration between arrays
