IBM Storwize V7000: A New Era for Midrange Storage

Building the engines of a Smarter Planet

IBM System Storage. Introducing new offerings that dramatically improve your storage efficiency.

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
  • - Thin provisioning
  • - Automated tiering

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.
