Application-Aware Thin Provisioning
The Pillar Approach

Thin provisioning is recognized in the industry as a critical approach to simplifying storage management while drastically improving capacity utilization.

Pillar's Application-Aware approach provides the ability to consolidate multiple applications in a single, multi-tenancy array while allowing administrators to manage performance based on application importance level. This creates a more efficient storage system with lower energy and space costs.

• Higher utilization rates in that several applications can draw upon a single pool of physical capacity
• Ease of provisioning and management with an intuitive management interface and easy "six-click" LUN deployment
• Incremental system capacity is added to the general storage pool as needed, but without being tied to a single host
• Increased capacity means reduced capital expenditures, as the need to buy new storage becomes less frequent
