16. 3PAR Software Portfolio Thin Provisioning-aware replicated copy of a volume of data created remotely over IP; offers Synchronous and Asynchronous Periodic modes. Remote Copy Web-based performance and capacity management tool with historical system data by application for multiple InServs. Consolidated monitoring and SLA support. System Reporter One-command, non-disruptive conversion of service level properties. Allows optimal data service levels at the lowest possible cost, at all times. Dynamic Optimization Integrated GUI-based Rapid Application Recovery and non-disruptive Data Protection solution built on Virtual Copy and integrated with Oracle and Exchange. Recovery Manager for Oracle/Exchange/SQL Copy-on-Write, Point-in-Time snapshot copy of a volume of data locally. Virtual Copy Fully replicated Point-in-Time copy of a volume of data created locally. Full Copy Dedicate-on-Write technology to allow over-allocation of logical capacity to applications, while only consuming the physical capacity that is actually written. Thin Provisioning Fine-grain virtualization, centralized volume management, HA Controller Node clustering, online and non-disruptive upgradeability and performance optimization.
