FlexVol

Key Points:
  • Adapt quickly and easily to changing storage needs
  • Reduce your acquisition costs through “just-in-time” storage with built-in thin provisioning
  • Add storage when and where you need it without disruption
  • Size and resize volumes dynamically and automatically, according to policies
  • Double utilization and improve performance

NetApp’s FlexVol® enables you to create virtual volumes that you can manage and move independently from physical storage. Now you can respond to changing storage needs fast, with little effort and no disruptions.

FlexVol is storage-virtualization technology that you can use to lower your overhead, avoid capital expenses, and reduce disruption and risk

FlexVol pools physical storage, so you can create and resize virtual volumes as your application needs change.

By using FlexVol, you can improve - even double - the utilization of your existing storage and save the expense of acquiring more disk space. You can also improve I/O performance and reduce bottlenecks by distributing volumes across all available disk drives.
