BeyondRAID is a RAID-like technology. Like Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID), it undertakes data storage virtualization and volume management on the NAS, and has added features that include:
Thin Provisioning/ thin storage / virtual provisioning: the allocation of on-demand storage according to user needs.
Instant Expansion: automatic mobilization and reorganization of unused storage space.
Inclusion of mixed drive sizes in a single pool that is then reorganized and configured virtually.
Smart Volumes that use the capacity as needed as volumes taken from a common pool.
