Improving Data Value

Improves efficiency of your storage, increasing utilization up to double

Increases 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

Infrastructure SimplicityTransform Economics of SAN Storage

Traditional SAN• Capacity is isolated in SAN islands

• Multiple hardware-centric management points

• Typically poor capacity utilization

• Capacity is purchased for and owned by individual applications

Spectrum Virtualize• Single management point for combined

pools of capacity

• Common functionality across all hardware vendors for improved efficiency

• Quickly exploit new physical infrastructure alternatives: higher performance flash and lower cost, more modular SAN disks

Data Reduction Pools

Manage all of your storage in one, data reducing pool

DRP volumes free storage when the host no longer needs it

with SCSI unmap

DRP volumes identify and eliminate duplicate blocks with deduplication

Data written to DRP volumes will be compressed using

Intel hardware compression

5X data reduction

Cuts storage cost

in half or more

Active Data Migrates Up

Less Active DataMigrates Down

Constantly analyzes I/O and migrates data

to optimize performance

tiering offerings

Increasing Data Security

Improves data security with software based encryption

Improves data protection with 5-10x faster rebuild of data following a

drive failure

Improves data availability with fully duplexed copies of data and automatic

switchover across data centers

Eliminates storage downtime with nondisruptive movement of data from

one type of storage to another

Encryption for Internal and External Virtualized Storage

Adds encryption to existing storage systems

– Helps to improve data security

– Eliminates capital expense for new storage systems or drives to enable encryption

– Reduces operating expense with single point of administration for

encryption across multiple heterogeneous storage systems

Minimal impact on performance

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

IBM Spectrum Virtualize encryption addresses all these use cases

Typical encryption use cases

– Protection against disclosure of data when drives removed

• Malicious removal of drives

• Drives returned to vendor as part of maintenance actions

– Secure erasure of storage

• Drives or arrays being reused for different data

• System being sold or otherwise disposed of

Traditional RAID 6

• Double parity improves data availability by protecting against single or double drive failure in an array

However …

• Spare drives are idle and cannot contribute to performance

• Particularly an issue with flash drives

• Rebuild limited by throughput of single drive

• Longer rebuild time with larger drives

• Potentially exposes data to risk of dual failure

Distributed RAID 6

• Spare capacity, not spare drives

• Rotating spare capacity position distributes rebuild load across all drives

• More drives participate in rebuild

• Bottleneck of one drive is removed

• More drives means faster rebuild

• 5-10x faster than traditional RAID

• Especially important when using large drives

• No “idle” drives• All drives contribute to
