Thin Provisioning represents an opportunity to immediately optimize your storage systems and make more capacity available to your applications. Although thin provisioning is a storage array feature, servers need to be ‘thin aware’. In order to migrate from “thick” to “thin,” you need tools that make the transition seamlessly and without downtime. Moreover, Thin Provisioning must be part of a comprehensive storage management strategy that includes tiered storage and clustered file management. Veritas Storage Foundation delivers the comprehensive management infrastructure tools to optimize not only thin storage , but the entire storage infrastructure.
What you’ll learn:

• How Thin Provisioning can help increase capacity, but why it’s not enough by itself
• How to migrate from “thick” to “thin” automatically and without downtime by using Veritas Storage Foundation SmartMove
• Why Windows environments need special help in “thin” environments
• How to stay “thin” over time using Thin Reclamation API
• Effective Strategies for tiered storage
• How clustered file systems can deliver better storage service levels
