Veritas Storage Foundation enhances storage management by providing automated and non-disruptive reclamation of thin provisioned storage while supporting diverse storage environments. The solution integrates with Hyper-V for improved management and allows for intelligent migration and replication across distances, ensuring rapid application recovery with minimal downtime. Additionally, Veritas's innovative thin reclamation API optimizes storage utilization, significantly reducing waste across various platforms.

6. Challenge of Migrating to Thin Storage
• Migrating online typically involves FULL ‘block level’ copy to Thin Devices
– Doesn’t understand what information is written resulting in wasted storage
– If volume 1 is 100 GB with 30 GB used by the file system, 100 GB will be allocated to
thin volume 2
• This applies to ALL block level copy methods (Host, Network, Appliance, Array)

enabling online storage reclamation as you migrate from any thick to any
thin storage
• Now supported is Veritas Volume Replicator and SmartMove. Replicate or

8. Keeping Thin Storage Thin—Over
Time
• As applications write data, physical storage is allocated.
Applications create temp files, modifies and/or deletes information
resulting in the file system size to be less than physical storage in
the array—wasting storage
• Veritas Thin Reclamation API automates the non-disruptive storage
reclamation with industry leading storage arrays
• IBM, HDS and 3PAR are the first to support the Thin Reclamation
API.
