Thin Provisioning also allows over-provisioning of physical storage pool resources allowing ease of growth for volumes without predicting storage capacity upfront. Thin Provisioning is available with GL200 firmware or newer.

• Snapshot enhancements for virtual storage, including performance improvements, hierarchical snapshots, and simplified
