IBM Storwize V7000 and Storwize V7000 Unified Common integrated features Easy Tier, thin provisioning, FlashCopy, IBM Active Cloud Engine 1 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 Realtime Compression, IBM SmartCloud Storage Access 1 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) 7 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.

IBM Storwize V7000 with Integrated Real-time Compression Real-time Compression What this is Easy-to-use real-time compression fully integrated into Storwize V7000 for active primary 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 8
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 Databases Up to 80% Server Virtualization Collaboration Linux virtual OSes Up to 70% Windows virtual OSes Up to 55% Office 2003 Up to 75% Office 2007 or later Up to 25% CAD/CAM Up to 75% IBM Comprestimator tool can be used to evaluate expected compression benefits for specific environments 9
Database Performance Storwize V7000 with Real-time Compression delivers up to 5x compression while maintaining or improving database transaction response time and overall business throughput Tested using industry standard TPC-C Benchmark 1.2TB DB2 Database with 700 users Response time in seconds lower is better (faster response time) Response Time in Seconds 1.2.8.4 0 1.144.701.501 Stock Level.857.665 Delivery No Compression - 96 disks Compressed 48 disks.468.385 Order Status The benchmark was performed using a Storwize V7000 system with 300GB SAS HDDs and 300GB SSDs. 1.2TB DB2 database with 700 concurrent clients were used in the benchmark. The same test was performed with compressed volumes and non-compressed volumes..46 Compressed 6 Flash Drives.20
Analysts Speak Out on Compression 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 11

IBM Linear Tape File System (LTFS) 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 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.
