| Thin provisioning | Active by default on all volumes, operates at full performance across all features | |
| Thin snapshots | Records changes only, snapshots auto-migrate to lower-cost storage | |

| Data Mobility and Migration | ||
| Replication | Heterogeneous arrays (SC Series any-to-any)
Synchronous/Asynchronous via FC or iSCSI Target/source relationships may be one-to-many or many-to-one Supports all SC data services on source and target volumes Change replication types and topologies on demand Supports cross-platform replication with PS Series/EqualLogic arrays (either direction) |
|
| Volume mobility | Live Migrate (included in base product) enables host-transparent data movement among arrays; see also Federation section | |
| Federated multi-array systems | Live Migrate (included in base product) enables host-transparent movement of volumes among arrays Snapshots maintained/preserved during migration | |
| Thin Import | Space-efficient, non-disruptive data migration from PS Series (EqualLogic) and MD3 arrays | |
| Thin Clones | Clone standalone volumes with zero duplication of data
Clones maintain independent snapshots and replication Ideal for VDI, test/dev, other applications that require discrete instances of common data More efficient than dedupe for database copies |
|

|
| Federation | Create large multi-array systems under unified management, with seamless workload migration between arrays via included Live Migrate feature. Add arrays non-disruptively, efficiently utilizing their combined capacity and performance. Volume Advisor monitors federated arrays to suggest optimal data placement and load balancing. Volume movement does not impact snapshots or replication data protection. Federate like or unlike arrays, all SC models supported. | |
