Begrebet "provisionering" har i mange år været anvendt i tele- og it-branchen (om man kan lide eller ej), og beskriver normalt overførsel af bestemte data til et system.

Mht. den første del fremgår følgende af et notat hos NetApp (http://media.netapp.com/documents/tr-3886.pdf)

Format: Zeroed-thick (=lazy)
Allocated: On create
Zeroed: On first access of VMFS block
Available: Immediately

Format: Eager-zeroed-thick
Allocated: On create
Zeroed: On creation of VMDK
Available: After zeroing

Format: Thin
Allocated: On first access of VMFS block
Zeroed: On first access of VMFS block
Available: Immediately

Uden at komme en oversættelse nærmere (hvis den findes), fremgår det i hvert fald, at "thin provisioning" er noget helt tredje.

I have received the following explanation from the client:
Automatic eager provisioning = A server maintenance thread automatically polls the configured external auto provision LDAP source, and then auto creates the accounts in CLIENT NAME directory.

Automatic lazy provisioning = auto creates the CLIENT NAME account when user first login via one of the external auth mechanisms enabled for auto provisioning.

Manual provisioning = admin to search from the configured external auto provision LDAP source and select an entry from the search result to create the corresponding CLIENT NAME account for the external entry.
