In storage management today, breaking the cycle of increased complexity and explosive data growth can be a big challenge. The old ways of buying and managing storage have become less effective. Due to resource constraints, both physical storage resources and human resources, IT organisations must act quickly to optimise and simplify their infrastructure. Unchecked complexity and growth will only become bigger problems over time.
Small and mid-size organisations may also suffer from a range of challenges:
Disruptive migrations
Difficulty deploying tiered storage
Inability to share storage among servers
Reduced productivity and increased cost caused by isolated server and storage management tools
Inability to use virtualised storage, like virtual servers, as a tool for optimising expenditures, resources and capabilities.
To stand up to these challenges and allow businesses to respond to a rapidly changing marketplace, IBM Storwize V7000 is a virtualised storage system to complement virtualised server environments that provides impressive performance, availability, advanced functions and highly scalable capacity never seen before in midrange disk systems. Storwize V7000 is a powerful midrange disk system that has been designed to be easy to use and enable rapid deployment without additional resources. Storwize V7000 is virtual storage that offers greater efficiency and flexibility through built-in SSD optimisation and thin provisioning technologies. Storwize V7000 advanced functions also enable non-disruptive migration of data from existing storage, simplifying implementation and minimising disruption to users. Storwize V7000 also enables you to virtualise and reuse existing disk systems, supporting a greater potential return on investment (ROI).
