SnapView: Understanding Service Levels

Snapshots
Processing against both source Performance and pointer-based image may create performance overhead Availability Recover source volumes in the event of corruption

BCVs
Supports high I/O workloads without performance impact Recover source volumes in the event of corruption or hardware failure Source and BCV are independent copies BCVs must be established prior to splitting GUI- and CLI-based management and automation

Snapshot creates pointer-based copies that are linked to the source volume Functionality Snapshots are created instantly and are immediately available GUI and CLI based management and automation

Economics

Requires a fraction of the capacity Requires 100% of the of the source volume; amount capacity of the source volume depends on how much data changes, typically 20%
