VirtualStore components and features can be used individually and together to improve performance, resilience, and ease of management for your storage and applications. VirtualStore features can be used for:
Improving database performance: you can use VirtualStore database accelerators to improve I/O performance. SFHA Solutions database accelerators achieve the speed of raw disk while retaining the management features and convenience of a file system.
Optimizing thin array usage: you can use VirtualStore thin provisioning and thin reclamation solutions to set up and maintain thin storage.
Backing up and recovering data: you can use VirtualStore Flashsnap, Storage Checkpoints, and NetBackup point-in-time copy methods to back up and recover your data.
Processing data off-host: you can avoid performance loss to your production hosts by using VirtualStore volume snapshots.
Optimizing test and development environments: you can optimize copies of your production database for test, decision modeling, and development purposes using VirtualStore point-in-time copy methods.
Optimizing virtual desktop environments: you can use VirtualStore FileSnap to optimize your virtual desktop environment.
Maximizing storage utilization: you can use VirtualStore SmartTier to move data to storage tiers based on age, priority, and access rate criteria.
Migrating your data: you can use VirtualStore Portable Data Containers to easily and reliably migrate data from one environment to another.
