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

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

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
