IBM Storwize V7000 and Storwize V7000 Unified

� Common integrated features– Easy Tier, thin provisioning, FlashCopy, IBM Active Cloud Engine1

� Optional advanced features– Remote mirroring (over FC, IP and FCoE), external virtualization unified storage, IBM Tivoli®

Storage FlashCopy Manager, IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center, Tivoli Storage Manager, Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack®, IBM Systems Director, Flex System Manager™, IBM Real-time Compression™, IBM SmartCloud Storage Access1

� Flash storage (SSDs)– For applications that demand high disk speed, quick access to data and support for tiered

storage environments

� Dynamic migration– Provides efficiency and business value in a nondisruptive migration function

� Unified storage– Combines block and file storage requirements into a single system for simplicity

and efficiency – Single user interface for managing both block and file storage

streamlines administration

� Clustered systems– Enables growth from the smallest configurations up to systems with 960 drives

(up to 1.92 PB capacity)

“IBM Storwize V7000 was the natural choice for our virtualized hosting environment. This storage solution provides the performance and flexibility we need to offer high-quality SAP hosting to our customers. Furthermore, by implementing IBM Easy Tier with solid state drives, we boosted storage performance. This technology permanently monitors

usage patterns in real-time and automatically moves the most frequently accessed data to the very fast solid state drives to

improve storage performance.” T-Informatik

1 Storwize V7000 Unified only


What this is

� Easy-to-use real-time compression fully integrated into Storwize V7000 for activeprimary data such as production databases and e-mail applications

� Compression technology that operates immediately as data is written to disk so no space is wasted storing uncompressed data awaiting post-processing

Why It Matters

� Store up to five times more active data in the same physical disk space

� Compression helps reduce storage purchase costs, rack space, power and cooling, and software costs for additional functions

� Deferral of storage costs throughout the lifetime of the system

� Immediate extra free space on primary storage

� Compression can help freeze storage growth or delay need for additional purchases

� Savings on the back-end storage including Disaster Recovery, allowing for extra backup retention

� Transparency to users and support staff

Real-time Compression without Compromise

� IBM Storwize V7000 Real-time Compression uses same proven Random-Access Compression Engine (RACE) as IBM Real-time Compression Appliances

� Delivers similar levels of compression

� IBM Comprestimator tool can be used to evaluate expected compression benefits for specific environments

Databases Up to 80%

Server Virtualization

Linux virtual OSes Up to 70%

Windows virtual OSes Up to 55%

Collaboration

Office 2003 Up to 75%

Office 2007 or later Up to 25%

“Data compression is an obvious way to minimize capacity requirements, making more

efficient use of assets and energy.”

- Stewart Buchanan

“The benefits of reducing data are felt at every point downstream from where the reduction

occurs. It only makes sense that applying this function closer to the point of data creation will

yield the greatest possible benefits.”

- Lauren Whitehouse

Linear Tape File System

Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager / ISKLM for z/OS®

Tivoli Storage Manager, Tape Sys Lib Manager


� Self-describing tape format for archiving data to tape

– Run applications designed for disk files on tape

� Improves efficiency, simplifies direct access and management of files on tape

– Eliminates the need for external database for access to files or creation of files

� Four offerings:

– Standalone Drive Edition (SDE)

• No charge software allows tape cartridges to managed in the same way as USB storage devices

– Library Edition (LE)

• Manages tape drive mounts and unmounts for access to data in IBM tape libraries

– Storage Manager (SM)

• Attaches to multiple systems for file accessibility

• Instead of being presented as a tree structure, objects are arranged in a logical order irrespective of their location on physical tape.

– Enterprise Edition (EE)

• Allows tape to be defined as a Tier 2 or 3 storage

• GPFS™ automates the movement of data between tiers as per user defined policies

� Supports LTO 5 and 6 and TS1140 tape drives

IBM Linear Tape File System (LTFS)

“We can now meet the interoperability needs of our clients at low cost, using a federated archive on LTFS. This is an

exciting opportunity for us, because it makes a local archive practical and affordable for many more of our clients, not just

those with highly developed IT organizations.” Thought Equity Motion


IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center

� IBM System Storage and other storage device management– Provides extensive operational control, asset and capacity

management, and performance reporting

� Next-generation, web-based user interface– Provides simplified, icon-based navigation, breadcrumb trail for

location awareness and uncluttered workspace that highlights resources and their health

– Provides rapid visibility and access to the information needed to manage your storage environment

� Comprehensive reporting integrated with IBM Cognos® Business Intelligence– Easily creates and integrates Cognos-based custom reports on capacity and performance

� Integrated disaster recovery (DR) planning– Improves time to value and data protection—allows planning for replication when storage

is provisioned

� Complete provisioning– Provides increased efficiency and flexibility – Enables scheduling of the provisioning task during the change control window or execute immediately

“Between the IBM XIV, Tivoli Storage Productivity Center and Tivoli Storage Manager, we can get our hands around

metrics that we didn’t have before so we can proactively monitor and respond to storage needs.” VCU Health System
