Regain Control of Storage Growth with Thin Provisioning
Industry analysts estimate that companies utilize just 25% of the storage capacity they purchase due to routine over allocation and underutilization of storage capacity. This imposes an enormous burden on the IT infrastructure – and the budget.
Thin provisioning (or dynamic provisioning) is a new approach to managing storage. Instead of “reserving” a fixed amount of storage, it simply removes capacity from the available pool when data is actually written to disk. This results in storage utilization rates that are 2 to 3 times higher than with traditional provisioning. Imagine what this increase in utilization could save your organization is storage costs…

“As the demand for storage grows and infrastructure costs escalate, the over-allocation of capacity ties up valuable capital resources and frequently leads to the premature purchase of new storage systems.”
