- Peter Allen Director of IT Operations, Nixon Peabody

“Do I think we buy less storage on a year‑to‑year basis because of how we use NetApp thin provisioning? I certainly do. We probably buy 20% to 25% less storage per year. That saves us between $75,000 and $100,000 annually. It allows us to give an application the illusion of having more space than it does, while properly allocating the storage for it behind the scenes.”
