• Reducing backup time and backup media costs
• Dynamically migrating files anytime, even in the middle of the business day, without downtime
• Provisioning new storage seamlessly, without impacting user or application access
• Automatically distributing storage capacity across many systems
• Making more efficient use of assets already in place to postpone the purchase of additional high-performance disk capacity
