Auto-Provisioning
2TB volume (NVM) assigned to each server
Small fraction of real capacity allocated to each virtual disk
SANmelody automatically allocates capacity when needed
No Agents on Hosts
Unallocated capacity is available for use by any server
1TB Pool
12TB allocated
No committed storage penalty!

Auto-Provisioning Saves Time and Effort Traditional Disk Provisioning
1. Determine which Application is running out of space
2. Determine how to add storage (extend Volume/LUN, add LUN, etc.)
3. Determine how much storage to add.
4. Determine where to get storage.5. Allocate storage from Pool.6. Set protection (LUN masks) for
Applications to see correct storage.
7. Set switch zoning and HBA settings if applicable.
8. Add storage to App. LUN or create new App. LUN Note: Typically requires reboots and downtime
9. Perform Volume formatting, Volume Management, Configure OS and Apps. to be able to use the larger LUN or new LUN
10. Replenish Pool (add disks)
DataCore Automates the Process
1. Create a virtual volume2. Drag and Drop the volume on the
server channel3. Apply
SANmelody does the rest!

Why go Virtual?
What is the driving force to go Virtual?
Flexibility to Adapt to Change + Economics and Productivity: Saving Money, Time and Effort Better utilization and consolidation of assets Rapid response to address growth and change Hardware Independence and Cost Savings Productivity gains by consolidating tasks, process and resources
Server VirtualizationServer Virtualization- Processor utilization, for example, Intel/AMD typically CPUs averages
utilization of less than 10 percent - 90% waste
Storage VirtualizationStorage Virtualization- On average 25% of allocated physical disk space in Microsoft environments is
effectively utilized by users – 75% waste
