# File system storage pool details

Embedded NAS (eNAS) integrates the file-based storage capabilities of VNX arrays into storage systems running HYPERMAX OS 5977 or PowerMaxOS 5978. With this integrated storage solution, storage can be provisioned to eNAS data movers, which trigger the creation of storage pools in VNX. Then users of Unisphere for VNX can use the storage pools for file-level provisioning, for example, creating file systems, file shares.
