Freedom of disk choice - a unified pool of storage

supports disk systems from IBM, HPQ, EMC, HDS

Simple, non-disruptive storage growth preventing application downtime for storage changes / migration

Lower management costs using single, comprehensive management from a central point - cross vendors

Lower software costs with unified disaster protection and replication functions


A network of healthcare providers make it easier and faster for doctors to retrieve patient records when they consolidate storage using DS4000 and the IBM SAN Volume Controller.

Business Need:• Retrieving patient records was difficult and time-consuming• Radiology records were scattered throughout many clinics• When doctors requested records they were often “checked out” or missing

The Solution:• Consolidated data from nine clinics onto a DS4500 via central storage network (SAN)• DS4100 used as the central SAN repository for data replication from the DS4500• Tivoli Storage Manager backs-up patient data to IBM Ultrium Tape Library• SAN Volume Controller manages it all !

Results:• Reduced time to locate patient records improving patient responsiveness• Significantly reduced the amount of disk storage required to store patient data records• Reduced costs

Customer Success Story !

A community based banking company ensures Business Continuity fulfills its service level agreements and reduces potential for revenue loss.

Business Need:• Business growth in insurance, investment banking,

and payroll services meant increasing amounts of data• Existing infrastructure lacked necessary availability, exposing the bank to outages• Inability to scale capacity reduced ability to protect increasing amounts of data • Missing service level agreements with customers

The Solution:• DS4300 Turbo and SAN switches deployed to back-up payroll services data• DS4000 Enhanced Remote Mirroring to replicate production data

Results:• Reliable disaster-recovery environment that will allow the bank to continue operations in

event of a disaster• Meeting service level agreements due to improved scalability, capacity and performance• Reduced potential for revenue loss from system outages

DS4000 Tiered Storage Optimizes Cost/Performance Points for Two User Communities

Production Servers have data that is frequently updated Fibre Channel drives should be used for

performance and reliability under heavy usage: EXP810 drawers

Analysis Servers (Business Intelligence, Data Mining, DSS, development, testing, archival) have data that is written on a set cycle (e.g., each evening) SATA drives can be used for high capacity

and low price points: EXP100 drawers Complete (byte-by-byte) replication of one

logical drive (source) to another (target) within a storage system Using VolumeCopy (or perhaps FlashCopy)

Public healthcare academic teaching institution complies with federal HIPAA regulations and reduces the cost of managing its storage environment when it implements a four-tier storage environment.

Business Need:• Disparate environment of direct-attach storage made it impossible to comply with Health

Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) • Needed ability to respond more rapidly to dynamically changing IT environment • Support increasing amounts of data from new medical imaging applications • Reduce storage administration cost

The Solution:• TotalStorage Productivity Center to identify proper data for different storage tiers• SAN Volume Controller to provide singular view of all storage systems• Four Tiers of storage:

DS6800 enterprise reliabilityESS for availability and performanceDS4300 Fibre Channel for less frequently accessed patient dataDS4100 SATA for backup data
