“Hot”high activity
“Cold”low activity
As data ages, activity falls quickly, which trigger automatic movement to high capacity HDDs for lowest cost over time
Highly active data is stored on FLASH for fastest response time

Point-in-Time Views with Snaps
Logical PIT Copies
• Pointer-based copy of data– Takes only seconds to create a complete snap
• Requires less space than a full copy, but has performance overhead
– Only need space for modified data—“Copy on First Write”– Could result in spindle contention for concurrent reads (from
source and snap)
Physical PIT Copies*
• Physically independent point-in-time copies of source volume
– Require the same space as the source data– Available after initial copy– No performance impact on source data– Can be used to replace source after hardware or software error
• Can be incrementally re-established
