About test environments

Sometimes, there is a need to do some testing or development on a copy of production data. In such scenarios, it is essential to provide isolation of these environments from the production environment. This is required so that there is no interference of testing or development environments with production environment. Storage Foundation can provide a very efficient and cost effective mechanism to create multiple test setups at the same time from a copy of production data. This is done without affecting performance of the production application, at the same time providing complete isolation.
