The concept of thin provisioning is still relatively new. The purpose is to eliminate trapped, unused storage, which occurs when storage is allocated to an application on an absolute basis.
Cloud computing has become a major buzzword in recent years, and the concept does have a compelling argument. It reduces reliance on internal resources, cuts down on manpower requirements, and lets somebody else worry about administration and about fixing problems.
In the world of backup and disaster recovery, we’re constantly looking for performance advantages and ways to save space, especially as the storage requirements grow exponentially over time.

Storage from multiple devices are combined and appear as a single resource.
