Implementation in a Small Environment Data Store Size

Hey Everyone,

i plan to implement a ProSphere in our Environment (2 VMAX Systems 1 Clariion System 2 Celerra´s 8 5300B Switches). At the moment i don´t know if ProSphere bring me any advantage, so i want to implement these Test Installation with a minimal Footpringt.

How much Space did i minimal need within the Datastores in order to service a Test Installation of Pro Sphere when Discovering only the Storage, Switches and 2-3 Server Systems for testing?

Could i use Thin Provisioning without blow up my Datastore within a short time period?

regards,

Martin
