Aracve Price Structure
From a top-level management perspecve, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and
Return On Investment (ROI), are two of the most important acronyms associated
with IT. The PROMISE VTrak S3000 soluon delivers value on both fronts oering an
aracve pricing structure and data management capabilies that improve an IT
organizaon’s eciency.
The VTrak S3000 appliance enables enterprises of all sizes to benet from improved
data management. VTrak S3000 oers opons for high performance upstream and
downstream connecvity to t a wide variety of capacity and performance proles.
VTrak S3000 pools storage into a centralized resource, simplifying administrave
tasks and accelerang an organizaons ability to meet changing requirements.
Thin Provisioning
VTrak S3000 has thin provisioning capabilies that allow administrators to maintain
opmal ulizaon of storage capacity, providing improved cost savings over me
compared to dedicated capacity. With thin provisioning, capacity presented to
the host is larger than physically available, allowing for expansion tasks to occur
without interrupng acve hosts. VTrak S3000 provisioning features allow storage
to be dynamically scaled, redistributed, load-balanced and migrated to new storage
devices should the need arise.
Tradi�onal Provisioning
The tradi�onal server is presented with a 10TB volume. In this
case 4TB is used to store the data leaving 60% of its capacity
unused. Servers with dedicated capacity typically over-provision
to reduce the maintenance overhead of incremental expansion.
Thin Provisioning
The thin provisioned server is presented with a 10TB volume,
more capacity than is actually available. In this case 4TB is
used to store the data leaving only 20% of its capacity unused.
Servers with thin provisioning enable higher capacity
u�liza�on, and the ability to scale the storage without
interrup�on to the ac�ve servers. This in turn reduces your
ini�al investment and improves IT efficiency with poten�al for
great cost savings over �me
