About policies for storage provisioning
You can use policy-based storage provisioning to simplify the share creation process. You specify a minimal set of inputs, such as share name, share size, and the type of the policy you want to use to provision your storage. The policy-based templates create a file system, set up replication, and encrypt your data as needed.
Table: Storage policies
Policy | Description |
|---|---|
Default Storage Policy | Provides fault tolerance against device failures. |
High Availability | Protects data against device, node, and site failures. It replicates data across two clusters. It is desirable that these clusters are in different data centers. It mirrors data across two devices and protects against device failures. |
Secure Data | Protects sensitive or confidential data. It encrypts data and provides fault tolerance against device failures. |
Data Protection | Protects data against device, node, and site failures. It replicates data across two clusters. It is desirable that these clusters are in different data centers. It mirrors data across two devices and protects against device failures. It also secures data by encrypting it. |
Continuous Data Protection | Protects data against device, node, and site failures. It replicates data across two clusters continuously. It is desirable that these clusters are in different data centers. It mirrors data across two devices and protects against device failures. |
