| Network bandwidth control | The network data transfer speed can be controlled | Allows data migration traffic to intermix on a network to maintain application performance |
| Multiple concurrent copies | Multiple copy connections across the network | Reduces the elapsed time to complete the data migration |
| Logical volume grouping | Enables a group of migration volumes to be collectively migrated without disruption | Easier management of large migrations |
| Data transfer ability to restart | All data synchronization activities can be restarted | Reduces the elapsed time for a data migration because a network outage will not cause all the data to be resent across the network |
