- By extending thin-provisioned capacity to many disk arrays (thus presenting a larger-capacity inventory), rather than confining thin-provisioning capabilities to a single array or a bunch of disks, the over-provisioning problem can be alleviated to some extent.
- According to the final analysis, thin provisioning does not solve the problem of capacity management itself, but it helps to reduce the cost of purchasing hard drives until you really need them. A word of warning: The current dynamics of the disk market have not experienced the same level of capacity increase or price decline that has been encountered since the early 1980s. If capacity and price dynamics do not return to pre-2010 levels, the debate on thin provisioning will really lose momentum. [1]
