Although PowerVault ME5 is targeted at the entry level of the SAN market, it contains many advanced and enterprise-class features detailed in the following sections. We recommend that the storage administrator and VMware administrator understand how these storage features can benefit the vSphere environment before deployment.
Note: PowerVault ME5 arrays use the term virtual volume, which is not associated with the VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes (vVols) feature.
