19 PS Series Template Volumes and Thin Clones: How and When to Use Them | TR1063
4 Summary
PS Series template volumes and thin clones can be very valuable tools when applied in the right
environments. They serve as space-efficient copies for environments that require high numbers of the same
image on disk. These cases vary but can include test environments that change often and need to be
reverted back to a base image, OS deployments, and data distribution. Whatever the case may be, template
volumes and thin clones are an easy solution to meet challenging data-center needs.
