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
