Storage Management White Papers

A Thorough Introduction to FlexClone Volumes

Overview Starting with Data ONTAP 7G, storage administrators have access to greater flexibility and performance. Flexible volumes, aggregates, and RAID-DP provide unparalleled levels of storage virtualization, enabling IT staff to economically manage and protect enterprise data without compromise. FlexClone volumes are one of the many powerful features that make this possible, providing instantaneous writable volume copies that use only as much storage as necessary to hold new data. FlexClone volumes enable and simplify many operations. Application testing benefits from less risk, less stress, and higher service levels by using FlexClone volumes to try out changes on clone volumes and upgrade under tight maintenance windows by simply swapping tested FlexClone volumes for the originals.
