Thin Provisioning
Thin Provisioning, combined with the ability to scale storage clusters dynamically, allows you to purchase only the storage you need today, and add more storage to the cluster as application data grows. This allows you to raise storage utilization levels, increase return on investment, and make the constantly falling price of storage per gigabyte work to your advantage. You can purchase storage as needed without over-provisioning storage. Thin Provisioning is implemented consistently and it's the mechanism that makes Automatic Snapshots, Remote Replication and Synchronous Data Mirroring all space efficient.
StarWind Thin Provisioning helps you to use storage more efficiently and allocate only the space that you actually use:
- Purchase storage as you need it, not in advance
- Do more with less storage, increasing flexibility
- Raise utilization, efficiency, and ROI
- Take advantage of constantly falling prices per gigabyte
- Reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint
