Virtualisaton characteristics
(think VMware vSphere)
– Common device driver● iSCSI or FC host attach
– Common capabilities● Thin provisioning● I/O caching● Easy Tier automated tiering to Solid-state
Disks● Snapshot (FlashCopy)● Mirroring (Synch and Asynch)● Real Time Compression
– Data mobility ● Transparent data migration among arrays
and across tiers● Snapshot and mirroring across arrays and
tiers
Management characteristics (think VMware vCenter)
– Manageability● Integrated SAN-wide Management● Integrated IBM server and storage mgmt
– Replication● Application integrated FlashCopy
(Oracle, DB2, SAP, Exchange, SQL Server)● DR automation
(Storage failover/fail back)● Site switching with distributed HyperSwap
like capability
– High Availability● Stretch Cluster HA

Virtualized storage resources• From multiple arrays, vendors and data centers
– pooled together and accessed anywhere
Standardised storage services• Selected from a service catalog
Mobility of storage volumes
• Move on the fly based on workload balancing policies
Self-service provisioning• Using advanced analytics and automation to
allocate capacity in the most appropriate fashion
Paid per use storage resources
• End users are aware of the impact of their consumption, service level choices

Less error prone, fewer configurations to support – fewer specialist skills and knowledge required
Sweat existing assets, increase utilisation and widen vendor choice on hardware purchases
Balance performance over infrastructure, minimise the use of high performance/cost disk
Improve speed and precision of storage allocation; provide a self-service framework
Link storage usage directly to those that consume, on a by tier basis; charge/show back

VSC for Storwize FamilyMust run with Storwize V7000 or V5000 virtualization engines (hardware)
NOTE: • This license does not replace the need to
purchase the Storwize base virtualization license (5639-VM7) with every Storwize enclosure
• This license must be purchased for every (internal and external*) storage enclosure
Single per enclosure license for all internal and external* storage enclosures to include:
•Storwize v7.1 External Virtualization•Storwize v7.1 FlashCopy (in base license)•Storwize v7.1 Remote Mirroring•TPC v5.2•FCM v4.1•Storage Analytics Engine
No limit to the number of enclosures this can be applied to.

Scenario 1 – VSC Entry
The client wants to manage a storage environment that requires SAN Volume Controller split cluster. The environment includes:
– A Storwize V7000 System of eight total enclosures providing 80 TB of usable storage capacity
– An IBM XIV System with 50 TB of usable storage capacity – A Storwize V3700 System of three total enclosures with 10 TB of usable storage capacity
The client can operate this environment using two SVC nodes (one I/O group), sold separately, and needs SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center Entry entitlement for the total amount of usable storage capacity of 140 TB.
A managed capacity of 140 TB leaves 110 TB of growth for this customer

Scenario 2 – VSC for Storwize Family
The client wants to manage a storage environment with Storwize V7000 as the storage virtualization engine that consists of the following:
– A clustered Storwize V7000 System of eight total enclosures (including two control enclosures) with 80 TB of usable storage capacity
– A seven-enclosure IBM XIV System with 100 TB of usable storage capacity – A Storwize V3700 System of three total enclosures providing 20 TB of usable storage
capacity – For a total of 18 storage enclosures
The client can operate this environment using the eight-enclosure Storwize V7000 system with eight base virtualization licenses (5639-VM7) for those enclosures (sold separately)
The customer also needs SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center for Storwize Family licenses for a total of 18 enclosures (8 Storwize V7000 enclosures + 7 XIV enclosures + 3 Storwize V3700 enclosures) of managed storage capacity.

Scenario 3 – VSC for Storwize Family
The client wants to manage a storage environment with Storwize V5000 as the storage virtualization engine that consists of the following:
– A clustered Storwize V5000 System of two control enclosures and three expansion enclosures
– Two external, non-IBM storage enclosures – for a total of seven storage enclosures
In addition to the five Storwize Family Software for Storwize V5000 (5639-ST7) licenses (sold separately)
The customer also needs SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center for Storwize Family licenses for a total of 7 enclosures (5 Storwize V5000 enclosures + 2 external, non-IBM storage enclosures) of managed storage capacity.
