Thin Provisioning
This is the page you're already on — the Human View toggle above shows it in full.
A green key on the record, left, is one Decision Insights added. It doesn't exist on the company's site or in a wire feed. The same key labels its row on the right, so you can match them directly. More on how DI enriches a record.

What we add
Counted facts
A dictionary definition doesn't say how often a term is actually used. This counts it across the graph -- articles that mention it, open source projects tagged with it, and the organizations tagged with it, listed here alongside the count. A term has no peer companies, and nothing here claims otherwise.
Open source projects 1
Organizations tagged 5
Organizations DataCore, Kaminario, Nexenta, OpenZFS, StorPool
