This guide documents key use cases for the management features of SFHA Solutions products:
Improving database performance: use SFHA Solutions database accelerators to improve I/O performance. Quick I/O, Cached Quick I/O, and Concurrent I/O can enable your database to achieve the speed of raw disk while retaining the management features and convenience of a file system.
Backing up and recovering data: use SFHA Solutions Flashsnap, Storage Checkpoints, and NetBackup point-in-time copy methods to back up and recover your data.
Processing data off-host: avoid performance loss to your production hosts by using SFHA Solutions volume snapshots.
Optimizing test and development environments: optimize copies of your production database for test, decision modeling, and development purposes by using SFHA Solutions point-in-time copy methods.
Making file level point-in-time snapshots: use SFHA Solutions space-optimized FileSnap when you need finer granualarity for your point-in-time copies than file systems or volumes. You can use FileSnap for cloning virtual machines.
Maximizing storage utilization: use SFHA Solutions SmartTier to move data to storage tiers based on age, priority, and access rate criteria.
