multiMigrate to move all their small volumes into one large volume to use their drives more efficiently.

multiMirror to develop a disaster recovery solution from their home office to a smaller remote storage array.

Stretched domains to spread high capacity volumes over more than one SVM domain.

Thin provisioning to use drive capacity better, resulting in using less energy to operate the storage array.

An infrastructure designed to lower the overall cost of storage by placing volumes on "fit for purpose" storage based on defined cost, availability, and performance requirements.

An infrastructure designed to place data on the storage devices that have the lowest price per megabyte ratio.

An infrastructure designed to place data on different storage devices to ensure a heterogeneous model.

An infrastructure designed to place data on different storage devices to ensure a homogeneous model.

multiMirror will not corrupt data based on its internal ECC correction code.

Host-based mirroring uses IP which can be less reliable than FC.

multiMirror uses the reliability of the RAID devices to accomplish a much more reliable copy.

Snapshot-enabled mirroring allows multiMirror to retain several recovery points at the remote site for rollback purposes.

SVM integrates with backup software as a Virtual Tape Library (VTL).

SVM reduces the need for backup clients.

SVM allows fast, no-data-movement rollback of applications.

SVM writes directly to a tape library eliminating the need for backup software.

SVM allows a closer recovery point than the previous night's tape.

The promotion and demotion of volumes among tiers based upon production cycles.

The creation of pools built upon the speed and capacity of disks.

The mobility of volumes to best match the QoS of applications.

The migration of data off one storage platform to another.

SVM multiMigrate allows for migration of data from any vendor's storage to any other vendor's storage.

SVM multiMigrate allows for non-disruptive physical migration of data from one storage array to another.

SVM multiMigrate allows for minimal downtime for data when the migration snapshot is created.

SVM multiMigrate allows for the acceleration of new storage devices into a SAN on an as-needed basis.

SVM multiMigrate allows for new data to be written simultaneously into two volumes for integration at a later time.
