Conclusion

  • TimeFinder SnapVX provides enhanced functionality and combines the benefits of the TimeFinder Clone, Mirror, and VP Snap into one easy-to-use software feature.

    SnapVX allows the user to create snapshots without the need for a target volume. Snapshots can then be used to link to target volumes in either full-copy or nocopy mode which can then be presented to the host server. SnapVX allows for far greater scalability than previous TimeFinder offerings, with up to 1024 snapshots per source volume and 1024 linked target volumes per source volume. SnapVX also introduces the ability to take snapshots on an SG level and uses advanced redirect-on-write technology.

    SnapVX is compatible with many other features. Users can also use legacy TimeFinder/Mirror, Clone, and VP Snap modes which use SnapVX technology in the background, completely transparent to the user.
