Adaptive data reduction (ADR) includes both controller-based capacity saving and hardware-based
accelerated compression functions.
The use of ADR requires compatibility with certain program products and functions. Before using ADR functions, review the related concepts, usage, and other conditions.
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.
