The P4000 Application Aware Snapshot Manager provides allows for the creation of application
consistent snapshots of VMware and Hyper-V VMs and of Microsoft VSS enabled applications.
Application Integrated snapshots create instant point-in-time copies of data on a per-volume
basis. Snapshots can be created in a variety of ways to meet business or application requirements.
Administrators can create them manually ad-hoc, on a scheduled or scripted basis, or via the
Microsoft VSS framework, and can then access these point-in-time snapshots to recover individual
files or folders from the volume, or rollback an entire volume. Unlike most SAN vendors that
require a snapshot reservation, SAN/iQ Snapshots are always thinly provisioned for efficiency,
only consuming storage space on the SAN for the data written to the snapshot, eliminating any
upfront space reservation or guesswork that could lead to snapshot and backup job failures.
Built into the P4000 SAN and Centralized Management Console, application integrated
snapshots provide automated quiescing for Microsoft VSS enabled applications without additional
software or hardware requirements. Sets of VSS snapshots are easily created, scheduled, and
recovered using the CMC.

Remote Copy
SAN/iQ Remote Copy lets customers replicate thin provisioned snapshots between primary and
remote locations. Because remote copies are thin provisioned no space reservation at the remote
location is required. Remote Copy is used for centralized backup and disaster recovery and can
be set up on a per-volume basis. Remote copies placed on a recurring schedule allow customers
to achieve point-in-time asynchronous replication of the data between locations, sites, or data
centers.
Integrated into the SAN/iQ Remote Copy software is intelligent bandwidth management ensuring
that the data traffic can be sent across shared WAN links without adversely impacting other
network traffic. Administrators simply set the bandwidth limit for remote copies between the two
sites and the SAN/iQ software holds that limit.
A failover/failback wizard is also included with Remote Copy for step-by-step, easy to execute
disaster recovery procedures when needed most.
Remote-Copy leverages application integrated snapshots to enable VMware and Hyper-V VMs as
well as Microsoft VSS applications to be replicated in a quiesced state, providing faster application
recovery.

Performance Management
The SAN/iQ Performance Management System is designed from the ground up to make it easy to
obtain the performance metrics that customers need, when they need them. One click of the
mouse and the Performance Monitor is up and running in the Centralized Management Console
(CMC) so there is no external software to install. The monitor provides a short list of relevant
statistics and counters, letting administrators obtain performance metrics rolled up to their
preferred level of abstraction.
The SAN/iQ Performance Monitor provides performance information on a per-application
server/virtual machine, logical volume, snapshot, storage cluster, and storage node basis, so
there's no wading through irrelevant statistics in search of pertinent information. The Performance
Monitor's graphical user interface is simple and elegant, and each statistic includes a detailed
explanation of what it means for SAN performance.

SAN/iQ SmartClone technology instantly replicates data volumes and data sets into virtual copies
or "clones" without requiring additional storage space. Each volume clone lets administrators save
time and space in a variety of environments and applications, from server and desktop
provisioning, to boot-from-SAN provisioning, to the rapid copying of production data into test and
development environments.
