Since it is provided as a service on the USP V/VM, it can aggregate thin provisioning with other common storage services provided on this platform. This Services Oriented Approach to HDP not only provides thin provisioning to other vendor’s legacy or lower level storage system through storage virtualization, we can also combine this with other USP V/VM services like snapshot copies, non disruptive moves or migration, distance replication, and Copy on Write and enhance the capabilities of these services.  [...] […] Unlike other thin provisioning solutions, HDP, or Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning, supports other vendor’s storage that are attached, or virtualized, behind the USP V or VM.
