Analysts Respond - IBM Storwize V7000 in 2010

"The IBM Storwize V7000 embeds the best of IBM's storage technology into an

easy-to-deploy architecture. This new mid-range storage system offers layers

of additional software for virtualization, solid-state optimization, and thin

provisioning without requiring any integration by storage administrators. They

only have to plug it in, follow the wizards, and migrate the data - just what the

doctor ordered!"

Mike Kahn, Managing Director and Founder, The Clipper Group, Inc..

"The IBM Storwize V7000 utilizes automatic solid-state storage optimization

with IBM Easy Tier, providing up to 300% performance increase for I/O bound

applications by migrating the most active data to solid-state storage. Easy Tier

moves small data extents, rather than entire volumes, so it makes very efficient

use of expensive solid-state storage."

Talk on the Street - IBM Storwize V7000 review

…Author Alan Stevens give his review

Source: Alan Stevens

Date: Thursday, February 24, 2011

There have been numerous attempts at repackaging high-end enterprise products

for a wider audience, but few get it right. One exception, however, could be IBM’s new

Storwize V7000, which mixes enterprise-class storage virtualization with custom

hardware and an intuitive management interface to create a highly scalable, yet easy-

to-deploy, mid-range storage solution.

IBM Storwize V7000 review

The V7000 is incredibly well designed, right down to built-in batteries inside the

power supplies, enabling cached data to be written out in the event of a total power

failure. The browser-based V7000 GUI features animated graphics to help simplify

management tasks.

Value to Your Customer: Financial Institution – Store Less Data

9

Helped boost performance for future

growth and created virtualization of existing

storage that provides easy migration of the

current storage infrastructure. Additionally,

the remote replication for archiving and

disaster recovery has been a great benefit

to the bank.

We not only virtualize the storage, improving utilization from 30% up to 80%, we then add thin provisioning and make your storage dollar stretch further… But it doesn’t stop there – we can efficiently snap copies of data to make back ups quick and super easy.

Value to Your Customer: Online Retailer – Data in the Right Place

10

Cater to very 'peaky' e-commerce type workloads using Easy Tier

What is Easy Tier? It’s a really slick feature that moves data from fast disk to even faster SSD storage - automatically. And it’s smart, too. It learns workload behavior and adapts to it.

© 2011 IBM Corporation

Value to Your customer: Private University – Does More with Existing Data

11

IBM helped the client develop the solution that would ‘future proof’ their

infrastructure for years to come, as well as provide a highly scalable and

flexible infrastructure….and even protected the University’s Sun Storage

investment

Universities build young minds…. They also tend to build lots of islands of isolated storage! That’s OK – the Storwize V7000 can help protect those investments by building value for clients, and providing timely access to data.

What this is

Unified block and file storage system with a tightly integrated management console

Support for NFS/CIFS/FTP/HTTP/SCP file protocols in addition to existing block functions

File replication and file level snapshots for business continuity and disaster recovery

Why It Matters

Provides greater flexibility for provisioning of storage resources and improves overall

capacity utilization

Unified console simplifies storage administration with a single user interface and

common CLI

Enables deployment of a broad set of applications from within a single storage system,

especially in shared storage environments

But what solution is right for my customers? Profiling Ds3500 vs V7000 Customers

It does depend…..so ask them….

Do they need/would they like to?

– Virtualize disparate storage arrays into one common storage pool

– Employ thin provisioning

– Incorporate ILM based policies for their storage (with Active Cloud Engine)

– Tier their storage

– Unified storage, meaning: both block AND file based storage

– An extremely easy to use management GUI

– Non-disruptive data migration

If any one of these features qualify for your customer, you are looking at a V7000

Flexible Payment Options with IBM Global Financing

IBM Storage Client How we added value

University of Calgary

Attractive lease option reduces TCO: Since budget was a major concern the university arranged

a lease program through IBM Global Financing Services. In addition to helping reduce the total

cost of ownership, leasing helps the university keep technologies current and make flexible

equipment decisions to support student growth and changing administrative needs.

LEGO Systems

“IBM Global Financing was able to assist during this period of very high growth, as our

investment budget is required for many different projects. LEGO is in a capital intensive

platform-building phase, and we are perhaps 50 percent complete. IBM Global Financing was

able to make the investments possible without diverting precious resources away from the core

business building activities. - Esben Viskum, Senior Director, LEGO Service Center

Packet One Networks

Helped client to:

Preserve capital for marketing expenditures that help exploit growth opportunities

Expedite implementation and easily continue its aggressive growth

Decrease total cost of ownership— 64.8% savings over four years

Rochling Automotive

IBM Global Financing delivered funding for hardware and SAP software in three stages to align

with implementation progress with repayment for all three stages calculated across the 39-month

period, all in a single monthly payment

Röchling Automotive achieved a single monthly payment plan for the whole project.

Ensured that client could implement the latest technology to support business-critical R&D

processes, and also released several million Euros of capital to invest in other projects
