| Post subject: | Automated thin-provisioning space reclamation |
Hello all, I wanted to make you aware of a new product (PerfectStorage) to automate the space reclamation of thin provisioned drives (in both physical and virtual environments). We had several 3PAR users in our beta test and the biggest benefits conveyed were 1) time savings 2) ability to predict how much space can be reclaimed and 3) delay of new storage acquisitions. A key feature is the ability to replace SDelete and not requiring applications to be shut down, as with SDelete. Press Release: http://www.raxco.com/about-us/PerfectSt ... elease.pdf Download, video, etc.: http://blog.raxco.com/2013/04/23/perfec ... clamation/ Thanks, Joe Abusamra |

Thanks for the post Joe, I've checked out the links, is this a windows only solution? What about linux, aix, solaris, hp-ux etc? |

Are there additional features besides the Windows 2012 build-in space reclamation? jabusamra wrote: Richard Siemers wrote: Thanks for the post Joe, I've checked out the links, is this a windows only solution?

Dear Richard, My understanding is Windows 2012 is supporting UNMAP command natively and 3PAR can reclaim space using “Thin Persistence”. Any idea this will work on VMware and Linux? Regards, Fawaz |

I know VMWARE supports T10 Unmapp as well, I have not heard of AIX or Linux supporting this yet. |
