HP 3PAR Thin Provisioning Software

Overview	Start Thin. HP 3PAR Thin Provisioning is the most comprehensive thin provisioning software solution
	available. Since its introduction in 2002, HP 3PAR Thin Provisioning has become widely considered the gold
	standard in thin provisioning. It leverages HP 3PAR's dedicate-on-write capabilities to make organizations
	more efficient and more green, allowing them to purchase only the disk capacity they actually need and
	only as they actually need it.
	With Thin Provisioning, there is no more up-front capacity allocation. No more dedicating resources for
	each application. No more paying to house, power, and cool disks that might not be needed for months or
	years to come, or may never be needed at all.

Product Highlights	HP 3PAR Thin Provisioning is completely automated
	HP 3PAR uses a reservationless, dedicate-on-write approach to thin provisioning that draws and
	configures capacity in fine-grained increments from a single free space reservoir without pre-
	dedication of any kind.
	HP 3PAR Thin Provisioning uses an allocation unit size of just 16 KB, so you don't have to worry
	about small writes consuming megabytes or even gigabytes of capacity.
	HP 3PAR is the only vendor to feature the clustered HP 3PAR Architecture, which uniquely supports
	thin provisioning by providing massive scalability within a single system so additional capacity can
	be easily added to fulfill earlier over allocations.
	HP PAR is the only vendor with arrays built from the ground up to support thin provisioning by
	eliminating the diminished performance and functional limitations that plague bolt-on thin
	solutions.

HP 3PAR Thin Conversion Software

Overview	With HP 3PAR Thin Conversion, a technology refresh no longer requires a terabyte-for-terabyte
	replacement, but instead offers the opportunity to eliminate up to 75% of your legacy capacity, simply and
	rapidly. This savings alone can save you up to 60% on the cost of a technology refresh.
	With HP 3PAR Thin Conversion, you can quickly shrink your storage footprint, reduce storage TCO, and
	meet your Green IT targets. HP 3PAR Thin Conversion software makes this possible by leveraging the
	zero-detection capabilities within the 3PAR ASIC and Thin Engine- HP 3PAR's unique virtualization mapping
	engine for space reclamation-to power the simple and rapid conversion of inefficient, "fat" volumes on
	legacy arrays to more efficient, higher-utilization "thin" volumes on any InServ Storage Server featuring
	Thin Built In™. Getting thin has never been so easy.
	The zero-detection capability built into the HP 3PAR ASIC combined with Thin Conversion software can
	effectively and rapidly "thin" a heterogeneous datacenter to one-quarter of its original size-or less-while
	preserving service levels and without impacting production workloads. This means that now a technology
	is not only more affordable, but it reduces up-front capital costs as well as ongoing operational and
	environmental costs associated with powering, cooling, and housing your storage-and without requiring
