SANtricity® snapshot feature addresses enterprise challenges by providing an immediate, space-efficient, logical copy of a volume. The snapshot
volume appears and functions as a standard volume, enabling it to be used as a backup source, restoration point, information analysis / manipulation base,
development environment, and other applications that benefit from a volume copy. A snapshot volume is a "static" or point-in-time (PiT) image of a
volume with all the read, write, and copy capabilities of the original. Its creation is instantaneous and requires only a small amount of disk space.
- Improves employee productivity by having an immediate copy. No more waiting for large volumes of data to copy, snapshot is nearly instantaneous
- Protects data by providing a readily available online copy that reduces restore time
- Reduces disk space requirements by using an innovative copy-on-write technology.The snapshot image only requires a fraction of the original volume's disk space
- Provides a copy to use as the source of a backup. This allows continuous processing during the backup procedure
- Provides more rapid application development through the immediate creation of a test environment and capitalizing on the ability to write to the snapshot image
