Simplify physical and virtual resource management with MD Storage Manager and PowerVault VMware vCenter Plug-In 5.0. Speed recovery with Dynamic Disk Pools.Dynamic Disk Pools protect data by dynamically distributing data across pools of drives. In the event of a drive failure, DDP will identify the critical data and dynamically rebalance the data so the array can return to an optimal state faster than it would in the typical RAID environment. DDP can now support up to 20 disk pools and up to 120 SSDs.
