KEY FEATURES

• IBM Data Reduction Guarantee – IBM guarantees storage savings of up to 80% and outstanding performance when you deploy compression. Get 2:1 sight unseen guarantee, or 5:1 with a validated workload.
• Easy to use management tools – Enhance IT productivity with a fresh new intuitive and simplified web-based GUI with point-and-click management capabilities. IBM Spectrum Virtualize technologies—including Compression, Easy Tier and IP replication with Bridgeworks WANrockIT technology—operate automatically and require little or no customization.
• IBM Easy Tier® – IBM Easy Tier provides automatic migration of frequently accessed data elements to high-performing flash storage. You can balance performance needs against infrastructure costs in a tiered storage environment.
• Data compression with hardware acceleration – Storwize V7000 offers compression with hardware acceleration. This enables Storwize V7000 to deliver higher performance for compressed data then traditional systems offer for uncompressed data. The benefits includes reduced acquisition cost, reduced rack space, and lower power and cooling costs throughout the lifetime of the system.
• Advanced copy services – Metro Mirror and Global Mirror allow synchronous or asynchronous data replication between any Storwize family systems for maximum flexibility. It helps optimize the use of network bandwidth with integrated Bridgeworks WANrockIT technology to reduce network costs or speed replication cycles – improving the accuracy of remote data. IBM FlashCopy® allows you to take incremental snapshots of your data at regular intervals.
• IBM Storage Utility Offering – Get the ultimate in flexibility with a new way to procure data capacity with instant-on access. This offering is unique because it allows you to predict monthly data capacity costs and pay only for the capacity you need, whether your data grows or shrinks. Drive new Capex costs over to the Opex line and save on the way. No need to over purchase or lease large amounts of capacity for “just in case” needs. Simply use the data that your business needs and this offering will take care of the rest.
