Single Level Storage = Built-in Storage Management
� In IBM i, all storage is viewed as one
large, contiguous, addressable space
� Storage management is integrated– Object/data placement is balanced
based on the performance, capacityand type of storage devices
– Storage may be dynamically and automatically rebalanced based onusage patterns
– Support for storage innovations, such asSolid State Drives, can be integrated intostorage management algorithms quickly
� IBM i clients typically do not require
storage administrators
� Automated storage management simplifies
operations and reduces costs
Objects are stored/retrieved by namewithout regard to physical location,
minimizing the need for administrators to manage storage infrastructure.

FlashCopy - Benefits to the Customer
� The production application downtime is only is as long as it takes to vary off the IASP, perform a FlashCopy of the volumes in the IASP, and vary on IASP. Or, Power-down system, perform a FlashCopy and IPL
� The performance impact on the production application during the save to tape operation is minimal since it is only influenced by the FlashCopy activity which is mostly confined within the Storage system.
� On IBM i V6R1 and later we can quiesce data to disk without power-down production system i
� This solution can be implemented together with Backup, Recovery and Media Services for (BRMS)
