How Implementing EMC VNX File System Features Can Save Your Life

What if I told you that you can control the growth of data that users store on 2014 EMC Proven Professional Knowledge Sharing their home drives, monitor the usage, and block certain files from being saved? What if I told you that you can deduplicate file systems, which can save you up to 72% of original data size? Sounds pretty good, right? Add to the list, file system checkpoints to control point-in-time backup capabilities and file systems replication to address Disaster Recovery (DR) concerns, and you have a solid and unified solution for file storage that addresses every aspect of its lifecycle.
