KERNSAFE - iSCSI SAN Software and Storage Virtualization

Storage Pool is a 100% SDS feature that aggregates local disks into pooled storage and creates dynamic block volumes for client use. These volumes support unlimited zero-copy snapshots and provide options for redundancy, scale-up growth, and performance scaling as more devices are added. Storage Pool can be deployed on all-flash arrays or on hybrid SSD/HDD arrays.
