Establishes provisioning policies to manage provisioning and exporting of storage

Automatically provisions a data set when assigned a provisioning policy

Checks provisioned storage for policy conformance Manual 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

catalogue


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 Challenges


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 SLAs

Improve your space management– Receive out-of-space alerts – Easily transition data to other storage systems with offline

data migration

Increase your storage efficiency – Use thin provisioning, deduplication,

and resource pools to manage your storage capacity and increase your utilization


Challenges

Productivity is declining

Unable to meet SLAs

Storage costs are rising

Business Challenges
