January 01, 2008 - (Free Research) 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.
August 01, 2009 - (Free Research) Thin provisioning is not new, but there is still confusion about how it works and how to best use it in the data center. In this presentation transcript, Jeff Byrne, Senior Analyst and Consultant, Taneja Group and Christine Taylor, Analyst, Tenaja Group, outline the various approaches and technologies behind thin provisioning.
November 2007 - (Free Research) IDC believes that thin provisioning is a powerful enabling technology with significant benefits to offer storage administrators looking for higher levels of storage efficiency.
July 2008 - (Free Research) Virtual Desktop Infrastructure enables end users or their hosting providers to provision and manage hundreds of individual, virtual desktops from a set of centrally administered, consolidated servers.
November 2009 - (Free Research) 3PAR Thin Provisioning software improves storage system efficiency and optimizes capacity utilization system-wide. No more up-front capacity allocation. No more dedicating resources for each application. No more paying to power, house, and cool disks you may not need for months or years to come, or may never actually need.
January 2009 - (Free Research) There is much attention being paid to primary storage optimization, compression, deduplication and archiving, but none of the techniques will work on one of the biggest consumers of primary storage: allocated but unused storage. Thin provisioning is designed to allocate physically capacity only as an application needs it - when it writes.
October 2006 - (Free Research) This paper discusses the complementary benefits of combining features of VMware and 3PAR technologies to gain increased performance and avoid the cost of over-provisioning servers and storage in an IT infrastructure.
March 2010 - (Free Research) Based on user surveys and first-hand inquiries, Forrester Security and Compliance Analyst John Kindervag provides an overview of what issues are driving SIM adoption and some of the key capabilities end users should look for when evaluating a SIM solution.
February 2010 - (Free Research) Many IT organizations are struggling to handle explosive data growth. When database size increases, so does the time and effort required to perform maintenance. Watch this demo to learn how Informatica makes database archiving, data warehouse archiving, and application archiving safe and easy, enabling better storage of data for ready access.
January 2010 - (Free Research) Virtual provisioning on Dell/EMC CX4 Series storage arrays is designed to dramatically increase storage utilization, simplify storage management, and minimize power and space requirements. Taking advantage of this flexible, automated approach to storage allocation can help reduce total cost of ownership and enhance data center energy efficiency.
October 2009 - (Free Research) This whitepaper outlines the benefits derived and the costs associated with virtualization in the Remote Offices/Branch Offices, in the classic model versus the proposed model.
