Automated  Storage  Provisioning  

๏  Defini&on  :  Automa3ng  the  task  of,  assigning  storage  (typically  disk  space)  in  an  op3mal  manner  

๏  Enforces  be_er  SLAs  for  database  applica3on  development  

๏  Requires  minimum  database  administra3on/management  skills  

๏  Enforces  the  ability  to  avoid  tedious  and  3me  consuming  organisa3onal  policies/processes  for  provisioning  storage
