As the world becomes more intelligent, information is being generated at a staggering pace. Managing this growth of information for midsize companies requires next generation solutions because while data continues to expand, budgets will not.
To serve the needs of a growing market, IBM unveils the new IBM Storwize V7000, a compact midrange disk system designed and priced for midsized companies. IBM Storwize V7000 offers enterprise-class functionality such as storage virtualization, thin provisioning, and automated tiering at no additional cost, providing midsize companies the ability to store data in a way that’s flexible, affordable, and without making your infrastructure more complex.
Midsize businesses need to be smart, efficient and cost effective. That’s why using IBM Storwize V7000 is the answer to meet growing storage needs while extracting more value from data as well as reduce the cost of storing it.
Control costs, improve productivity
IBM Storwize V7000 includes IBM System Storage Easy Tier advanced functionality which locates your most important information faster, to help reduce costs while improving application throughput by up to 200% . This functionality is provided in a dynamic, modular, compact design that sets a new standard for cost-effective midrange disk systems. Instead of buying a whole cabinet and then filling it with disk enclosures over time, IBM Storwize V7000 engages individual, modular components so you can enjoy less space requirements and more flexibility.
Optimize your storage infrastructure
With five essential and advanced storage technologies you can maximize storage potential without having to choose between performance and efficiency. Greater efficiency translates into reduced energy costs, reduced administrative costs and less storage sprawl including:
-
Virtualization
- Logically aggregate disk storage so capacity can be efficiently allocated across applications and users.
- Increase utilization of existing storage by up to 30%.
- Move and manage data so hardware can be serviced-all without disrupting users.
- Thin provisioning
- Optimize the utilization of available storage by allocating storage space as needed while improving storage utilization rates significantly.
- Optimize the utilization of available storage.
- Reduce capital costs and lessen the need for new storage devices.
- Automated tiering
- Help reduce cost and improve access times by storing information more intelligently.
- Efficiently use solid state drives to increase performance by up to 200% on critical applications.
- Reduce costs by migrating less critical data to less expensive media.
Simplify your storage management
IBM Storwize V7000 includes a graphical user interface (GUI) to simplify configuration, provisioning, tiering and upgrades, making users more productive, resources better utilized, and growth easier to manage. Functionality is controlled via a single, central console with an amazingly intuitive, easy-to-use GUI which integrates easily with new and existing systems.
