Efficiently use storage spaces with incremental allocation.

Allocate all spaces specified and they cannot be used by 
other volumes or LUNs.

Thin provisioning

Over-allocation allows a server to view more 
storage capacity than has been allocated in the 
storage pool. Furthermore, physical storage 
capacity is used only when files are written by 
the application, thereby improving utilization 
rates.

Thick provisioning

Physical storage capacity is dedicated upfront when the 
storage volume is initially allocated.

IT administrators can aggregate multiple 
RAID groups as a big storage pool to 
flexibly utilize the storage capacity as a 
whole, protect them using redundancy 
and allowing for better protection against 
multiple disk failures for large-capacity 
environments. Multiple volumes can now 
be created on the Storage Pool to provide 
flexible deployment.
