VSC - Overview
 Virtualisaton characteristics
(think VMware vSphere)
– Common device driver
● iSCSI or FC host attach
– Common capabilities
● Thin provisioning
● I/O caching
● Easy Tier automated tiering to Solid-state
Disks
● Snapshot (FlashCopy)
● Mirroring (Synch and Asynch)
● Real Time Compression
– Data mobility
 Management characteristics (think
VMware vCenter)
– Manageability
● Integrated SAN-wide Management
● Integrated IBM server and storage mgmt
– Replication
● Application integrated FlashCopy
(Oracle, DB2, SAP, Exchange, SQL Server)
● DR automation
(Storage failover/fail back)
● Site switching with distributed HyperSwap
like capability
– High Availability
● Stretch Cluster HA
● Transparent data migration among arrays
and across tiers
● Snapshot and mirroring across arrays and
tiers

Primary Routes to Market
VSC Entry
•
•
•
•
•
•
Priced and packaged to enable Channel Partners to increase velocity of VSC sales
Specifically focused on new client acquisition; no conversions or trade-ups offered for existing
customers
No conversions or tradeups are offered for VSC Entry customers to VSC or VSC For Storwize
Family at this time
Validate the storage software model of delivering common advanced services to heterogeneous
infrastructures in mid-market segment

sales
•
Designed to help improve administrative efficiency, manage complexity, and improve ROI on
hardware purchase
•

Scenario 1 – VSC Entry
 The client wants to manage a storage environment that requires SAN Volume
Controller split cluster. The environment includes:
– A Storwize V7000 System of eight total enclosures providing 80 TB of usable storage
capacity
– An IBM XIV System with 50 TB of usable storage capacity
– A Storwize V3700 System of three total enclosures with 10 TB of usable storage capacity
 The client can operate this environment using two SVC nodes (one I/O group), sold
separately, and needs SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center Entry entitlement for the
total amount of usable storage capacity of 140 TB.
 A managed capacity of 140 TB leaves 110 TB of growth for this customer

Scenario 2 – VSC for Storwize Family
 The client wants to manage a storage environment with Storwize V7000 as the storage
virtualization engine that consists of the following:
– A clustered Storwize V7000 System of eight total enclosures (including two control
enclosures) with 80 TB of usable storage capacity
– A seven-enclosure IBM XIV System with 100 TB of usable storage capacity
– A Storwize V3700 System of three total enclosures providing 20 TB of usable storage
capacity
– For a total of 18 storage enclosures
 The client can operate this environment using the eight-enclosure Storwize V7000
system with eight base virtualization licenses (5639-VM7) for those enclosures (sold
separately)
 The customer also needs SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center for Storwize Family
licenses for a total of 18 enclosures (8 Storwize V7000 enclosures + 7 XIV enclosures +
3 Storwize V3700 enclosures) of managed storage capacity.

Scenario 3 – VSC for Storwize Family
 The client wants to manage a storage environment with Storwize V5000 as the storage
virtualization engine that consists of the following:
– A clustered Storwize V5000 System of two control enclosures and three expansion
enclosures
– Two external, non-IBM storage enclosures
– for a total of seven storage enclosures
 In addition to the five Storwize Family Software for Storwize V5000 (5639-ST7) licenses
(sold separately)
 The customer also needs SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center for Storwize Family
licenses for a total of 7 enclosures (5 Storwize V5000 enclosures + 2 external, non-IBM
storage enclosures) of managed storage capacity.
