3PAR Thin Persistence Software
To realize the ultimate efficiency, cost-savings, and environmental benefits of thin storage, you need 3PAR’s unique space reclamation technologies to make sure that your thin storage
stays thin.
3PAR Thin Persistence
With next-generation space reclamation from 3PAR,
staying thin is as easy as
starting thin or
getting thin. On average,
3PAR® Thin Provisioning customers are able to purchase 60% less capacity than would have been required with legacy arrays. With Thin Persistence and
Thin Copy Reclamation—included as part of the
InForm® Operating System—you can improve this average capacity savings by another 10% for a total average capacity savings of 70% or more.
An industry first, 3PAR Thin Persistence keeps your storage as lean and efficient as possible by using 3PAR's unique virtualization mapping engine, Thin Engine, to reclaim space from deleted volumes.
Thin Copy Reclamation does the same for thin copies (virtual copy snapshots and remote copies). For customers using Veritas Storage Foundation™ by Symantec, Thin Persistence also includes
3PAR Thin Reclamation for Veritas Storage Foundation—software that also uses Thin Engine and 3PAR's Thin API to enable InServ arrays to use granular file system-level information to autonomically reclaim unused space within thin InServ volumes so that they stay thin over time.
Together, these space reclamation technologies deliver significant savings on both capital and operating expenses and help you defer the cost of purchasing raw capacity to handle new data growth—all of this while helping you sustain the Green IT targets you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
