Which cost saving should you highlight in your presentation when positioning the value of HP
3PAR StoreServ Thin Technologies?

+1 for D.
Thin Technologies have no bearing on data availability, thus not A or B.
Thin/Thick are transparent to the application, so not C.
Process of elimination results in D, as does Dv’s response. THin = fewer disks for same usable space, thus both CAPEX reduction in terms of front end purchase, and OPEX in terms of disks to manage, both to power and cool.
