Overview
Built on thin copy technology, HPE 3PAR Virtual Copy is a reservation less, non-duplicative, copy-on-
write software product that allows you to protect and share data from any application, affordably.
Snapshots are available on demand, instantly, in read-only and/or read-write form. With Virtual Copy,
snapshots are reservationless because capacity is never reserved up-front and non-duplicative since
changed data is never duplicated within the snapshot tree.
Coupled with consistency groups and support for hundreds of snapshots per base volume, Virtual
Copy efficiency delivers affordable, CDP-like rapid application recovery from multiple points in time.
With a single command, you can revert a base volume to any selected snapshot-without impacting
other snapshots in the tree. And when you delete a snapshot, this never affects peer snapshots.
Virtual Copy also integrates with HPE 3PAR Autonomic Groups and HPE 3PAR Scheduler-both
features which are built into the HPE 3PAR Operating System-to automate the creation and deletion
of virtual copy snapshots while giving users fine-grained control over the process. When used in
conjunction with Autonomic Groups, Scheduler automates the creation of virtual copy snapshots
across multiple boot and data volumes with full write consistency across all these different volumes.
In combining these software capabilities, storage management is automated to reduce administration
time and decrease the chance of human error.
