Instead, volumes can be accessed and\/or shared from different locations, making Live Volume a key enabler for virtualization and the cloud.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/temp-new.vmenginelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/live-volume1.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1447\" title=\"live-volume\" src=\"https:\/\/temp-new.vmenginelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/live-volume1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"461\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/temp-new.vmenginelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/live-volume1.png 461w, https:\/\/temp-new.vmenginelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/live-volume1-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantages of Live Volume:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Supports automated thin provisioning and tiered storage<\/li>\n<li>It costs a fraction of other solutions, without additional hardware.<\/li>\n<li>Works with multiple hypervisors, including VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer<\/li>\n<li>It does not impose any limits on the number of volumes that can be created, shared, deleted, or updated<\/li>\n<li>It allows companies to scale costs by treating array grids as one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><strong>OnDemand WorkLoad Distribuition:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>In our opinion, this is a feature that brings enormous progress and innovation in many areas.<\/div>\n<div>It allows users to split the workload between arrays and download I\/O from one storage system to another, without disruption to applications.<\/div>\n<div>The workload is transparently distributed across arrays, automatically balancing I\/O traffic and storage utilization to increase application performance with low latency.
