Increasing Data Security

• Improves data protection with 5-10x faster rebuild of data following a drive failure with internal drives

• Eliminates storage downtime with nondisruptive movement of data from one type of storage to another

IBM Storage

System requires IBM Spectrum Virtualize V7.6 with cache upgrade (from 4GB to 8GB) Improved RAID implementation

– Faster drive rebuild improves availability and enables use of lower cost larger drives with confidence– All drives are active, which improves performance especially with flash drives

Spare capacity, not spare drives Rotating spare capacity position distributes

rebuild load across all drives More drives participate in rebuild

– Bottleneck of one drive is removed More drives means faster rebuild

– 5-10x faster than traditional RAID– Especially important when using large drives

No “idle” spare drives– All drives contribute to performance– Especially important when using flash drives

Storwize V3700 Delivers Improved Data Protection with Distributed RAID

optimization technology No separate appliances required Uses artificial intelligence to improve

network bandwidth utilization up to 3x Deploy less costly network infrastructure Speed replication cycles for better remote data currency

and faster recovery

TCP/IP Network

IBM Storage

FlashCopy (snapshot) function is available with 64 targets and optional upgrade for up to 2040 targets

Enables taking more or more frequent copies– Support more VMs from a single master copy– Enables more work to proceed in parallel

More copies can reduce impact of having to use a backup copy

– For example, taking a copy every hour instead of every day

– Reduces potential impact by up to 95%

IBM Storwize V3700 offers FlashCopy

Enhancing Data Simplicity

• Improves agility with automated provisioning of storage as it is required by applications, integration with virtualization tools such as VMware vCenter, and easy deployment of new storage technologies

• Simplifies management for greater efficiency

Internal Virtualization & Thin ProvisioningImprove capacity utilization

Enables rapid, flexible provisioning and simple configuration changes Enables non-disruptive movement of data among tiers of storage, including Easy Tier Enables data placement optimization to improve performance Complements virtualized servers and cloud strategy

Internal Virtualization

Without thin provisioning, pre-allocated space is reserved

whether the application uses it or not.

With thin provisioning, applications can grow

dynamically, but only consume space they are actually using.

Dynamicgrowth

More productive use of available storage.

Across all supported host platforms.

Improve storage utilization by enabling applications to consuming only the space they are using

Thin Provisioning
