Thin Provisioning is becoming very popular as it offers substantial savings in costs and time resources. It is also positioned to solve the complexity of current storage infrastructures. As this paper indicates, not all applications are suitable for Thin Provisioning and new challenges are expected as we move forward. Nonetheless as this technology becomes more widely adopted and new adjacent technologies emerge, those challenges will prevail and make Thin Provisioned volumes the only way to allocate storage.
