FEATURE DATA MANAGEMENT
The challenge is to bring the abstracted and pooled model of operations to the enterprise and to transition from storage management to data management. classes of data managed by policy. This allows data to be provisioned, according to workload profile, and move as required between compatible classes of storage. The result is data management that puts the emphasis on policies, automation and APIs to do the heavy lifting, not manual operations and array-by-array management.
Finally, a storage-as-a-service consumption model and non-disruptive upgrades allow customers to scale and evolve their storage fleet while ensuring infrastructure remains current and agile.
