Thin Provisioning and Green Computing
DataCore Goes Green with Thin Provisioning - Cost and energy savings up to 60%! Read More: Virtualization, Thin Provisioning and Green Computing Studies show that customers who deploy Thin Provisioning and Thin Copy technologies such as those found in DataCore's SANmelody and SANsymphony are able to deploy on average just one terabyte of capacity for every 2.5 terabytes required with traditional storage arrays. Due to this substantial reduction in capacity requirements, these Thin technologies are responsible for reducing necessary disk capacity and the associated carbon footprint by approximately 60% as compared with traditional storage. DataCore Thin Provisioning is Versatile, Network Software: No Forklift Required Read More: 敵reen� Technology Promotes Energy Efficiency, Saves Money and Is Now Available to All to Try According to Mike Karp, senior analyst, Enterprise Management Associates, 典hin provisioning can be great solution for budget-strapped IT managers. It saves money, time, worry, and is 'green', so it makes companies good environmental citizens. The DataCore approach, like that of VMWare, and Citrix, is not wrapped in expensive hardware. A customer痴 investment is protected because DataCore thin provisioning will keep working even if their hardware infrastructure changes.� Thin Provisioning is Revolutionizing Storage Management Read: New 2007 Research Note "Thin provisioning takes virtualization to the next evolutionary step...The benefits of this evolutionary enhancement are profound, and include improved staff productivity, higher end-user satisfaction rates, increased storage utilization rates, more-accurate capacity forecasts, smaller storage system environmental footprints and lower costs." Thin Provisioning - Virtual Capacity and Storage Virtualization Presentation: Virtual Capacity - Disk Resource Consolidation and Auto Provisioning Thin Provisioning: Click to read the White Paper: DataCore's Virtual Capacity "DataCore's virtual capacity is a major leap forward. You now can defeat the 'running out of space' downtime problem and avoid the 'guesswork' cost of over buying storage. This innovation truly automates the process of storage provisioning and delivers dramatic improvements in utilization." - John Padovano, Manager of Technology for EngenderHealth. Credit Where Credit is Due - DataCore Pioneers Thin Provisioning "The current manual approaches for provisioning storage often require hours not seconds to create volumes and make them available to an application or an end user. Many of the newer virtualization products on the market require users to lock in to a specific hardware vendor's 'solution set' and concerns remain over whose hardware can be included in the hardware-based virtualization scheme. DataCore's approach is superior. I am hard pressed to think of any other storage software vendor who offers anything close in terms of giving users so much choice on which vendor's disks and hardware to use," says Jon William Toigo, renowned storage analyst and author, IT consumer advocate and CEO of Toigo Partners International in Tampa Bay, FL.
