The untapped potential of thin provisioning
31 January 2011, 5:00 am

Not all that long ago, thin provisioning became a feature that storage vendors were tripping over themselves to offer in their products. Since then, it has become a de facto standard that you'll find in just about any virtualized storage array worth its salt.

Unfortunately, the huge potential of thin provisioning is often overshadowed by the complications of using it in production. That's a shame.
