Storwize V 7000 The Making of a Solution

© 2010 IBM Corporation IBM Virtualized Disk Solutions Guiding Principles § Modular scalability, supports independent scaling of performance, capacity, and software function – allowing you to start small and grow large without ever changing hardware platforms. § Integrated software functions and management interface across the entire range of scalability. § Enterprise-class software capabilities, including replication functions traditionally found in high-priced enterprise arrays, virtualization capabilities to improve efficiency and application up-time, and management capabilities that make quick work of complex deployments.

© 2010 IBM Corporation Efficiency Features üMore productive use of available storage üAcross all supported host platforms Thin provisioning Dynamic growth Without thin provisioning, preallocated space is reserved whether the application uses it or not. Easy Tier SSD Automatic relocation HDD With thin provisioning, applications can grow dynamically, but only consume space they are actually using. ü“Easy Tier” pools identify the busiest data extents and automatically relocate them to highest performing Solid-state Disks üRemaining data extents can take advantage of higher capacity, price optimized disks

© 2010 IBM Corporation Scalability: Customer case study One of the Largest Financial Institutions in the United States Business challenge: The Bank’s storage scale is measured in petabytes. Storage capacity is leased from multiple vendors to introduce competition and reduce capital costs. However, technology turns and leases end – meaning new storage must be leased and data must be migrated. The disruptive nature of migrating data between traditional arrays often resulted in the Bank having to extend leases month-to-month incurring significant cost. Solution: Virtualization with IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller. With over 2 PB of tiered Fibre Channel and SATA storage now virtualized, the Bank can transparently migrate data from old technology to new arrays, meeting lease termination dates and saving significant cost in lease extensions. Because migration is transparent, application uptime is also enhanced. Because virtualization is heterogeneous, the Bank can further leverage its multi-supplier strategy to keep costs down for its virtualized IBM XIV, and EMC DMX and CLARii. ON storage. Benefits: § Reduction in lease extension costs § Tested 30% increase in storage utilization § Improved application uptime Solution components: § IBM® SAN Volume Controller § Flash.

© 2010 IBM Corporation Productivity: Customer case study Fortune 100 Diversified Health Insurance Company Business challenge: The Insurer’s storage scale is measured in petabytes. Scale had made the job of maintaining visibility into the utilization and effective operation of the storage infrastructure a near impossibility. Traditional, manual management processes were not scaling. The Insurer wasn’t getting optimal use out of its significant capital investment in storage infrastructure. Solution: Visualization, Control, and Automation with Tivoli Storage Productivity Center. With 2 PB of storage now managed, the Insurer can visualize the entire storage topology, leverage analytics to aid in provisioning storage for new applications, monitor overall health, and report on performance and capacity utilization. These tools have allowed the Insurer to deal with continued storage growth, improve the storage environment quality of service, and do these things without parallel growth in the storage management staff. Benefits: § Simplified problem isolation and 25% reduction in mean-time-to-repair for performance related issues § Effective management of storage assets and capacity resulting in deferred capital expenditures for new storage § Improved overall quality and health of the storage environment Solution components: § IBM® Tivoli® Storage Productivity Center § Standard Edition § IBM System Storage.
