View Cost and Storage Savings Realized by Using Data Instant
Snapshots for a Chargeback Run
The Data Instant Snapshot Savings subtab shows the estimated cost and storage space savings realized by using a Storage Center with
Data Instant Snapshots as compared to legacy SAN point-in-time-copies. These savings are achieved because Data Instant Snapshots
allocates space for a snapshot only when data is written and saves only the delta between snapshots; a legacy SAN allocates space for
every point-in-time-copy.
