IBM Spectrum AccelerateAn example of this premier model is simple!

Lets say you purchase 100Tb of licenses. You can use those licenses for any of these products!

As your needs change, you can carve up those licenses by mixing and matching them as long as it doesn’t exceed 100Tb total capacity. Add more capacity at any time as you grow!

How RTC works with SVC/Storwize

The Smarter Storage Approach

Dual software compression software engines for SVC DH8–Take advantage of multi-core controller architecture–Make better use of compression accelerator hardware

Enable up to double amount of “half price storage” in a single system–Even greater efficiency than before–Delivers up to double IOPS for compressed workloads

Expected performance per SVC DH8 I/O Group–Up to 300K IOPS to compressed data–Ability to scale up and out by adding more I/O groups (up to four total)

Now with integrated Comprestimator CLI utility for estimating expected compression rates.With the identical compression algorithm that’s used on the compression cards, Comprestimator will give very accurate results of +/- 5%!

Spectrum Control and Storage Insights


IBM Spectrum Control data management and storage management solutions provide comprehensive monitoring, automation and analytics. They address the two most significant storage costs: physical capacity and storage administration. You can get important insights into cloud, virtualized and software defined storage environments.

IBM data management and storage management solutions can help to:

•Identify and categorize storage assets for file, block and object data•Generate departmental and application views of storage•Optimize data placement within the infrastructure•Identify unused and wasted storage space




Spectrum Control and Storage Insights ReportingIBM Spectrum Control device management capabilities include:

• Proactive performance management from a single, integrated console for monitoring storage devices

• The monitoring of metrics, such as I/O rates and cacheutilization, and support for storage optimization through the identification of the best logical unit numbers(LUNs) across multiple storage subsystems

• The measuring and tracking of service levels by storing historical performance statistics for analysis and report generation

• Generation of timely alerts that enable event action by setting performance thresholds based on business policies

• Historical data retention is 24 months for Capacity and 13 months for Performance with Storage Insights and Up to 48 months for Capacity and 39 months for Performance with Virtual Storage Center

Improve storage uptime and simplify support efforts with personalized assistance

Complex storage issues can cause downtime. And that can obstruct your business operations. How do you efficiently resolve these costly and high-impact problems?

Of course, your storage device service agreements with IBM enable you to access robust support to help resolve high-severity storage challenges. But without a technical advisor, your staff still needs to know how to access help and determine the issue.

With a technical advisor for storage from IBM, you can gain continued technical support for critical issues—as well as proactive advice for problem prevention.

• Improve uptime

Continued assistance from one specialist can resolve high-severity problems more quickly

• Enhance efficiency

Work with IBM to promote staff productivity through support protocols and critical-problem management techniques

• Avert problems

Your consultant can offer time-tested methods tohelp you prevent outagesand use IBM support moreeffectively
