- IDC Report: Major Considerations for Deploying a Thinly Provisioned Storage Solution
(Source: 3PAR) With traditional provisioning techniques, utilization levels are often surprisingly low. There are several reasons for this.
>>Users over-request capacity to avoid disruption to their application
>>Once storage is allocated to an application, it cannot be repurposed for another application. So if an application doesn't use all of its allocated capacity, it is wasted
>>Administrators often over allocate capacity to avoid reconfiguration and downtime
Given all these factors, it is no surprise that written-to-allocated utilization levels are often sub-optimal. In a perfect world, organizations would purchase storage just-in-time for only written-to capacity. IDC believes there is considerable opportunity for suppliers to help their customers utilize their disk storage resources more efficiently.
