Compellent SAN Highlights: Thin Provisioning
What is Thin Provisioning?
Compellent's Thin Provisioning, called Dynamic Capacity, delivers the highest storage utilization possible by eliminating allocated but unused capacity. Dynamic Capacity completely separates storage allocation from utilization, enabling users to allocate any size virtual volume upfront yet only consume actual physical capacity when data is written by the application.
Key Benefits:
Compellent's Storage Center's Dynamic Capacity enables you to:
- Reduce storage costs by delaying storage purchases and eliminating allocated but unused disk space typical for businesses
- Save administrative time by automating common management tasks including capacity planning
- Increase availability by eliminating downtime due to volume expansion
- Improve performance by creating smaller volumes and writing only actual data
- Support a greater number of servers without additional storage capacity
- Reduce the space, power and cooling costs of maintaining allocated but unused capacity
- Assign capacity to allow for future growth without having the physical disk in your SAN
