Dell PowerStore Monitoring Your System

Data Savings features

Data savings metrics are based on the automated inline data services that are provided with PowerStore.

The automated inline data services occur in the system before the data is written to the storage drives. The automated inline data services include:

• Data reduction, which consists of deduplication and compression.
• Thin provisioning, which enables multiple storage resources to subscribe to a common storage capacity.

The drive usage that is saved by these data services results in cost savings and consistent, predictable high performance, regardless of workload.
