- Fast. Traditional copies can take many minutes or hours to make. With FlexClone technology even the largest volumes can be cloned in a matter of seconds.
- Space efficient. A clone uses a small amount of space for metadata, and then only consumes additional space as data is changed or added.
- Reduces costs. FlexClone technology can cut the storage you need for dev/test or virtual environments by 50% or more.
- Improves quality of dev/test. Make as many copies of your full production dataset as you need. If a test corrupts the data, start again in seconds. Developers and test engineers spend less time waiting for access to datasets and more time doing productive work.
- Lets you get more from your DR environment. FlexClone makes it possible to clone and fully test your DR processes, or use your DR environment for dev/test without interfering with ongoing replication. You simpy clone your DR copies and do dev/test on the clones.
- Accelerates virtual machine and virtual desktop provisioning. Deploy tens or hundreds of new VMs in minutes with only a small incremental increase in storage.
