Dynamic slicing
Data are read in parallel
PPDM divides dynamically protected NAS assets into slices by using max values for each slice:
* 200 GB
or
* one million files
There is tolerance of up to 30% to avoid creating nonoptimized slices. For example, a single 260 GB folder is still within the 30% tolerance value and would be considered one slice. Each slice uses one stream.

Dynamic slicing
Each protection engine has 24 parallel streams. We can assign number of streams for particular NAS asset – maximum number of dynamic slices.
By default, PowerProtect Data Manager allocates eight streams per NAS asset (max 256), per backup operation.
For restore operations, the default is eight streams for share-level recovery and one stream for FLR.
We can deploy more protection engines.
When calculating the number of NAS protection engines, allow up to 120% to 150% of the estimated slice count for overhead such as placeholder slices.
