With the dynamic allocation of the
thin provisioning model and the increased 100 MB mailbox capacity, if a user used 60 MB of the allocated space, only 60 MB is actually provisioned for that user.
Thin provisioning allows applications to receive more storage capacity on an as-needed basis instead of the traditional approach of over-provisioning to avoid application downtime.
"
Thin provisioning can enable higher capacity utilisation by allowing applications to share a pool of available storage that reduces the amount needed for any individual application."
The new software packages, with entry prices starting at under $2,000 per server, include
thin provisioning, data migration technology, storage performance caching software, snapshots for fast disk backups, remote site disaster recovery replication and DataCore's High Availability (HA) data protection.
By eliminating allocated but unused capacity, the solution's
thin provisioning software, called Dynamic Capacity, helps UNT maximize storage utilization.
VM-ready out-of-the-box, feature-packed VM Starter SAN delivers true hardware portability, supports
thin provisioning, SANmotion, performance acceleration, high availability and disaster recovery, and comes with "Carry Forward Investment Protection"
With grid storage today's
thin provisioning becomes no provisioning.
JMR Electronics, Chatsworth, Calif., a manufacturer of data storage solutions offering the industry's widest selection of Fibre Channel, SCSI and SATA storage systems, has introduced its new Fortra(R) DataMover, a management tool featuring an intuitive GUI that unifies SAN and NAS while providing rich functionality that includes
thin provisioning, instantaneous snapshots of blocks and files, block and file replication, advanced SNMP notification and scheduling to the minute.
Our innovative data deduplication, compression and
thin provisioning products enable the world's leading storage OEMs to cut effective cost, accelerate performance, reduce time to market and gain competitive advantage.
Furthermore StorPool offer advanced storage features like
thin provisioning, snapshots & clones, tiering, caching, QoS (Quality of Service) among others," said Boyan Ivanov, co-founder and CEO at StorPool.
