It is usable product. After firmware upgrade it can be activeted. Firmware code must be greater than 8.6 code. You can create snapshot policy. It runs schedule and automatically. The snapshot volumes are immutable. They store safely until coming expiration time. The all process works automatically. It is easy to use.
It takes volume snapshots. The snapshots store safely on storage. it is not allowed delete until coming expire date. So it provides security layer for our business. It has anomaly detection. It checks anytime if there is any abnormal situations it takes actions. Again there is another security layer for us.
