The advanced iSCSI Thin-Provision support allows administrators to create up to 5 iSCSI Thin-Provision targets under one iSCSI Thin-Provision volume on Thecus NAS servers. These iSCSI targets will share physical storage space from the iSCSI Thin-provision volume. Administrators can allocate virtual storage space on these iSCSI targets that will only take up physical storage space when they are actually needed. A notification will be sent to when 90% of the physical iSCSI Thin-Provision volume has been utilized, and the administrator can then decide whether or not to expand the physical storage space. iSCSI Thin-Provision support prevents administrators from over provisioning physical storage space before it is actually needed, thus greatly reducing capital spending on storage for businesses of all scales.
