With LVM, you can clone a volume. It's a software cloning. Use lvcreate -n snap.

Virtual Replicator can do snapshots too.

IÃ¬ve already saw the o.s. capability with lvcreate, but the customer wants a "commercial" product.

Virtual Replicator is only for Windows platform.

LVM is a port of a commerical product from HP-UX, originating from Veritas(Symantec).

Just because its free doesn't make it bad.
