Storage Virtualization: Centralized Management of Storage

Storage virtualization is a critical component of IT virtualization. Benefits of server virtualization such as improved utilization, flexibility, responsiveness, workload mobility and disaster recovery can be limited if only part of the infrastructure is virtualized. Storage virtualization is also one of the foundations for effective cloud deployment and software defined infrastructures. IBM offers a variety of storage virtualization solutions to meet the needs of companies of all sizes.
Virtualization solutions help take the cost and complexity out of IT infrastructure.

IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller

IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller(SVC), a member of the IBM Storwize family, is a storage virtualization system with a single point of control for storage resources. SVC improves business application availability and delivers greater resource utilization so businesses can get most from their storage resources, and achieve a simpler, more scalable and cost efficient IT infrastructure. Innovative technologies such as Real-time Compression and integrated Bridgeworks SANSlide network optimization for remote mirror help to deliver both better performance and greater efficiency for new and existing storage.

IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller benefits

Enhance storage capabilities with sophisticated virtualization, management and functionality.

  • Move data among virtualized storage systems without disruptions
  • Store up to 5 times more active data in the same physical disk space
  • Optimize flash storage deployments automatically with IBM Easy Tier
  • Implement stretched configurations for high availability and data mobility
  • Reduce remote mirroring costs with integrated Bridgeworks SANSlide network optimization

IBM SmartCloud Storage Access

Growing data storage demands coupled with shrinking or nearly flat IT budgets place extraordinary pressure on IT managers. Many organizations see cloud as a way to deliver storage services more effectively while saving both time and cost, since cloud environments can support new ways to make storage solutions more efficient and agile.

IBM offers IBM SmartCloud Storage Access, an easy-to-deploy, simple-to-use software solution that features a self-service portal for storage provisioning, monitoring and reporting. It is designed to provide users with a self-service file-serving facility over the Internet. With a few clicks, users can create an account, provision storage and start uploading files.

Highlights

  • Quickly implement a private cloud storage service.
  • Provision storage capacity on demand.
  • Easily store and access files.
  • Offer simple reporting, monitoring and chargeback services.
  • Improve overall IT efficiency and service quality.
  • Increase end-user and administrator productivity.
  • Deploy with selected IBM storage area network (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS) storage infrastructures.
  • Enable third-party developers to integrate applications using top-level Representational State Transfer (REST) application programming interface ( API).

IBM SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center

IBM SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center is both a storage virtualization platform and a storage management solution. And it provides much more than just improved efficiency and data mobility. Building on a long history of innovation in storage virtualization and optimization, it can reduce data management and protection costs up to fifty percent. Enterprises are able to migrate more quickly to an agile cloud architecture and convert existing storage to IBM Smarter Storage, and get more room for data growth and more simplified storage administration.

IBM SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center features
