FlexShare Makes Large-scale Consolidation
Practical

• FlexShare
• Enables workload prioritization at volume level
• Provides for more effective storage consolidation
• Critical workloads get fastest response when
  controller is fully loaded
• Storage administrator can make on-the-fly
  adjustments
• Standard feature of Data ONTAP 7.2
