A single Vault Store can be divided into a number of partitions, which can be on different Storage Types. As the vault store grows additional partitions can be added to extend the available space.

A vault store can have only one open partition, which is the partition into which all new items are archived. The status of a partition can be changed from Open to Closed at any time and in EV 8.0 have a new status of Ready.  It is only possible to have one open Vault Store Partition in each Vault Store.
