3PAR Thin Provisioning

This white paper discusses the problem of allocated, but unused, storage —the storage that has already been assigned to applications and file systems, but has not actually be written to. It also considers the high tax organizations pay to provision storage in typical environments. 3PAR Thin Provisioning is then explained and proposed as an alternative to both of these issues. The result is a dramatic reduction in capital and operating expense, and much greater cost control relative to project outcome. Return on application investment is also accelerated because IT can quickly deploy new applications without the delays associated with traditional provisioning. In addition to the business benefits of this alternative, attention is given to how 3PAR Thin Provisioning works within the context of the 3PAR InForm Operating System.
