Thin provisioning is a complete solution for almost every environment. Increasing the capacity of a volume dynamically will of course cause overhead, but it is very small. This technique is very useful because it cannot be optimized by other forms of data reduction. It hard allocates new capacity to the specified LUN and is no longer shared by all other LUNs.
