"The IBM Storwize V7000 utilizes automatic solid-state storage Efficiency with IBM Easy Tier, providing up to 200% performance increase for I/O bound applications by migrating the most active data to solid-state storage. Easy Tier moves small data extents, rather than entire volumes, so it makes very efficient use of expensive solid-state storage."

–David Hill, Mesabi Group

Other Analyst quotes on the Storwize V7000"IBM is beginning a new era for storage systems. The IBM Storwize V7000 will integrate new

hardware technology with advanced storage management capabilities to create an optimized solution for managing rapid data growth.

This new solution will set a new standard with respect to storage virtualization and scalability for midrange storage systems.“

–Benjamin S. Woo, Program Vice President, Worldwide Storage Systems Research, IDC, 9/10

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"This announcement is most complete, most interesting, and potentially most disruptive thing to come out of IBM's storage group in the past twenty years.

I can't wait to see the IBM Storwize V7000 take shape in the market.“

–Steve Duplessie, Founder and Senior Analyst, ESG, 9/10

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"The IBM Storwize V7000 embeds the best of IBM's storage technology into an easy-to-deploy modular architecture.

This new mid-range storage system offers layers of additional software for virtualization, solid-state optimization, and thin provisioning without requiring any integration by storage administrators. They only have to plug it in, follow the wizards, and migrate the data - just what the doctor ordered!"

- Mike Kahn, Managing Director, The Clipper Group, Inc., 9/10
