IBM San Volume Controller (SVC)Storage virtualization for heterogeneous storage environments


�Do you understand the benefits of server virtualization ?

–higher utilization – less waste of capacity

–higher flexibility – right load on right hardware

–higher availability – real 24x7 environment

–independence of hardware – more choices

–......

�Why not get the same benefits usingstorage virtualization !

With the SVC, hosts see one

� One management interface

Non-disruptive Data Migration with SAN Volume Controller

Traditional SAN

1. Stop applications

2. Move data

3. Re-establish host connections

4. Restart applications

SAN Volume Controller

1. Move data

Host systems and applications

Infrastructure Simplification with SAN Volume Controller

Traditional SAN� Capacity is isolated in SAN islands

� Multiple management points

� Poor capacity utilization

� Capacity is purchased for, and owned by individual processors

SAN Volume Controller� Combines capacity into a single pool

� Uses storage assets more efficiently

� Single management point

� Capacity purchases can be deferred until the physical capacity of the SAN reaches a trigger point.

Business Continuity with SAN Volume Controller

Traditional SAN� Replication API’s differ by vendor

� Replication destination must be the

same as the source

� Different multipath drivers for each

array

� Lower-cost disks offer primitive, or no

replication services

SAN Volume Controller� Common replication API, SAN-wide, that

does not change as storage hardware

changes

� Common multipath driver for all arrays

� Replication targets can be on lower-cost

disks, reducing the overall cost of

exploiting replication services
