IBM Storage is About the Smart Movement and Management of InformationIBM Storage Grows Capacity Without Complexity
The world is generating 15 petabytes of data daily.
How do I create an infrastructure that drives down cost, protects information, and delivers new intelligence to enable smarter business decisions?
80% of new data growth is unstructured content.
Information is doubling every 18 months. Storage capacity is growing 45% yr.
The world is flatter and smaller. Now it’s becoming smarter.

HP, Dell, and 3PAR
The bidding war for 3PAR was not about the strength of 3PAR’s technology or market penetration
It revealed more about how far behind HP and Dell are in the midrange and, in the case of Dell, the depth of their desire to replace their OEM of EMC CLARiiON

SVC– Disk virtualization system targeted primarily to large enterprise customers
looking to virtually consolidate storage to reduce cost, improve productivity, improve availability, and gain greater flexibility
IBM Storwize V7000– Midrange disk system targeted primarily to midsize businesses, who will use
it as their principal storage, and large enterprises, who will use it as tier 2 storage or in smaller locations
– Employs advanced storage virtualization technology to deliver high performance, rich software functions, high availability, modular and scalable capacity, and great ease of use
– Also supports virtualization of external storage for nondisruptive data migration or to consolidate and extend the life of existing storage assets

Efficiency FeaturesThin provisioning More productive use of available storage
Across all supported host platforms
Without thin provisioning, pre-allocated space is reserved whether the application uses it or not.
With thin provisioning, applications can grow dynamically, but only consume space they are actually using.

Scalability: Customer case studyOne of the Largest Financial Institutions in the United States
Business challenge:
The Bank’s storage scale is measured in petabytes. Storage capacity is leased from multiple vendors to introduce competition and reduce capital costs. However, technology turns and leases end – meaning new storage must be leased and data must be migrated. The disruptive nature of migrating data between traditional arrays often resulted in the Bank having to extend leases month-to-month incurring significant cost.
Benefits: Reduction in lease extension costs
Tested 30% increase in storage utilization
Improved application uptime
Solution:
Virtualization with IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller. With over 2PB of tiered Fibre Channel and SATA storage now virtualized, the Bank can transparently migrate data from old technology to new arrays, meeting lease termination dates and saving significant cost in lease extensions. Because migration is transparent, application uptime is also enhanced. Because virtualization is heterogeneous, the Bank can further leverage its multi-supplier strategy to keep costs down for its virtualized IBM XIV, and EMC DMX and CLARiiON storage.
