Expanding the Storwize Family

• same CLI• same user interface• one set of functions (selectively licensed)• one code base on all platforms



IBM Introduced a New Era in Midrange Disk Systems

IBM Storwize V7000 announced October 7, 2010• Very well-received by customers, business partners and reviewers

• Tremendous positive reception around the world

• Presence in every major country and industry

Over 13.200 systems sold world-wide since Nov 2010 GA (Sep 2012)

One of the fastest product ramps in IBM storage history

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.

What is Storwize V3700 ?

Storwize V3700 is an entry level storage controller

1Gb/s iSCSI host attachment

Optional: 10Gb/s iSCSI, 8Gb FC, FCoE

Internal virtualization gives access to advanced functions

– thin provisioned volumes, flash copy, mirroring

SAS network for expansion (up to 4 expansion enclosures)

Internal drives

– SSD, 15K SAS, 10K SAS and NL SAS

– supports up to 120 x 2.5”, 60 x 3.5”

Customer installable and maintainable



Controller Enclosure – Rear

Looks identical on type 12C and 24C

Rear of the Enclosure:

– There are two power supply slots along the bottom of the unit, each taking up half of 1U. The left hand slot is power supply 1, the right hand slot is power supply 2. The power supplies are inserted the same way up (unlike V7000).

– There are two canister slots along the top of the unit, again taking up half of 1U The left slot is canister 1, the right slot is canister 2. The canisters are inserted the same way up (unlike V7000)

– Fans are contained within the PSU, replacement requires a new PSU

– Fan speed is variable and under system control

– Fans continue to operate in a PSU which has failed or lost AC power



Four 6 Gb/s SAS ports

– currently only port 4 is used (foradditional enclosure connections)

IBM Storwize V7000 Real-time Compression Compression Without Compromise – It Works with Active Primary Data

Innovative, easy-to-use compression fully integrated into Storwize V7000– It uses same proven Random-Access Compression Engine

(RACE) as IBM RtC Appliances

High performance implementation can be used with active primary data– Supports workloads off-limits to other arrays

– Significantly expands candidates data for compression

– Greater compression benefits through use on more types of data

It operates immediately and is easy to manage– No need to schedule periods to run post-process compression

– Eliminates need to reserve space for uncompressed data waiting post-processing

By using V7000 virtualization, it significantly enhances the value of existing storage assets (including non-IBM)

Compression can help freeze storage growth or delay need for additional purchases. It helps reduce– Storage purchase costs

– Rack space, Power and cooling

– Software costs for additional functions

IBM Storwize V7000U Advanced FunctionalityInternal & External Virtualization

Storwize V7000 Unified virtualizes internal storage

– Enables rapid, flexible provisioning and simple configuration changes

– Enables non disruptive movement of data among tiers of storage, including Easy Tier

– Enables data placement optimization to improve performance

Storwize V7000 Unified also virtualizes external FC storage*

– Capacity from existing storage systems becomes part of Storwize V7000U system

– Single user interface to manage all storage, regardless of vendor: Designed to significantly improve productivity

– Virtualized storage inherits all Storwize V7000 Unified rich function including FlashCopy, Easy Tier, and thin provisioning

– Move data transparently between external storage and the Storwize V7000 Unified storage system

– Extends life and enhances value of existing storage assets


* File access for externally attached storage does not support the CIFS protocol
