IBM Spectrum Virtualize Proven, Efficient, Dependable

3


Improving Data Value

• Improves efficiency of your storage, increasing

utilization up to double

• Increases the amount of data you can store,

enabling up to 5x as much data to be stored in the

same space

• Improves storage performance so you can get more

done with your data

• Optimizes storage use by moving data to the most

appropriate type of storage based on policies you

define with IBM Spectrum Control

4


Increasing Data Security

• Improves data security with software based

encryption

• Improves data protection with snapshots

mechanisms

• Improves data availability with fully duplexed

copies of data and automatic switchover across data

centers

• Eliminates storage downtime with non disruptive

movement of data from one type of storage to

another

• Local and remote replication 5


Enhancing Data Simplicity

• Improves agility with automated provisioning of

storage as it is required by applications,

integration with virtualization tools such as

VMware vCenter, and easy deployment of new

storage technologies

• Consolidates all your storage—no matter the

vendor—for simplified management, consistent

functionality, and greater efficiency

• Enables flexibility in storage acquisition by

supporting common capability across all types of

storage so you can mix vendors with ease

6


• Physical storage is virtualized and “hidden” from servers

– Enables rapid, flexible provisioning and simple configuration changes

– Enables non disruptive movement of data among tiers of storage

– Enables data placement optimization to improve performance

• Rich integrated function applies to all storage

– Functions including compression, replication, tiering, high

availability, encryption

– Single user interface to manage all storage, regardless of vendor

– Move data transparently between different storage systems

– Extends life and enhances value of existing storage assets

• Delivers agility and efficiency of software-defined storage to

existing and new storage

• Quorum disk (also called “witness” in some other implementations) is required with IBM

Spectrum Virtualize to resolve situations where cluster components lose communication

• For Stretched Cluster and HyperSwap, this has required fibre channel communications to a

third site, which adds to cost

• New IBM Spectrum Virtualize capability creates custom Java app for quorum

– Deploy app on server at third location

– Use IP connectivity to cluster components

– Eliminates requirement for FC networking and FC storage at third site

IP Quorum

13


• New capability enables encryption of virtualized storage

– Helps to improve data security

– Eliminates need to purchase new storage systems or drives to enable encryption

– Provides single point of administration for encryption across multiple heterogeneous storage systems

• Supported on SVC DH8 engines, Storwize V7000 Gen2, FlashSystem V9000

• Minimal impact on performance

– Takes advantage of Intel AES-NI processor instructions to perform encryption
