IBM® Spectrum Storage Virtualize™

V7000 + V7000 Unifiedin a nutshell

Juni 2015

IBM Storage

Inheriting Key Features from IBM’s Enterprise-Class Systems

Inherited RAID functionality already

developed for the DS8000 series for 3.5” and 2.5”

disk drives

RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10

RAS services and diagnostics

Inherited architecture and software features from SAN Volume Controller

(SVC)

Innovative ease-of-use GUI influenced from the field-proven

interface of IBM XIV

IBM Storwize V7000 and V7000 Unified – Key Features

Easy Tier– Automatically moves extents between

Flash, Enterprise and Nearline disk

Real-time Compression Inline compression for

active primary workloads

Up to 80% Savings - More effective than Data Deduplication

Ideal for Databases, VMs, CAD/CAM, etc.

Data-at-Rest Encryption– AES 256 bit encryption implemented in

SAS chip of V700 Gen2 Hardware– Storwize v7.4 software for block, and

v1.5.1.1 for file modules– Supports internal SSD and HDD– Works with all other features including

Real-time Compression and Easy Tier• Data is compressed first, then encrypted

– Encryption keys stored on USB memory sticks

– No performance impact to applications!
