- Provisioning
The advanced provisioning software products and features of the storage systems enable you to implement the appropriate provisioning strategies for your operational environment and improve performance and capacity utilization. Dynamic Provisioning allows you to reserve virtual storage capacity based on anticipated future capacity needs using virtual volumes instead of physical disk capacity, providing lower initial cost, greater efficiency, and ease of storage management.
