In a virtual server infrastructure where all resources are shared, optimal performance can only be achieved with an adequate amount of properly allocated resource capacity. Not allocating enough resources can cause critical bottlenecks - leading to performance problems and costly downtime events. 

3PAR Thin Provisioning software improves storage system efficiency and optimizes capacity utilization system-wide. No more up-front capacity allocation. No more dedicating resources for each application. No more paying to power, house, and cool disks you may not need for months or years to come, or may never actually need. 

By continuously monitoring shared capacity utilization trends in your VMware ESX environment, Capacity Analyzer significantly reduces the time and costs of identifying current capacity bottlenecks causing performance problems. 

This whitepaper explains why automated reconciliation is quickly evolving into a competitive necessity. The costs associated with manual reconciliation, the benefits from automation, and the best reconciliation workflow model will all be discussed.
