IBM Storage is about the smart movement and management of information
The world is generating 15 petabytes of data daily.
Information is doubling every 18 months.
Storage capacity is growing 45% yearly.
… while IT budgets are growing less than 1% per year.

Stop storing so much – compression
Compression approaches are not all created equally…
• “Today, [EMC] compression is still a post-process on primary
storage …”
Chad Sakac, EMC, blog post 7/11/11
• “… users can be confident of using NetApp Compression on low
I/O volumes that have users who can tolerate higher response
times”
“NetApp adds Compression to its Storage Efficiency Portfolio”, Wikibon, January, 2011
• “Our research shows that in-line compression solutions such as
those offered by IBM Real-time Compression are orders of
magnitude more efficient and ultimately more effective for primary
storage than alternatives that cannot operate in real-time.”
David Vellante, Chief Research Advocate, Wikibon, May, 2012

The benchmark was performed using a Storwize V7000 system with 300GB SAS HDDs and 300GB SSDs.
1.2TB DB2 database with 700 concurrent clients were used in the benchmark.
The same test was performed with compressed volumes and non-compressed volumes.

Without thin provisioning, preallocated space is reserved whether
the application uses it or not.
With thin provisioning, applications can grow
dynamically, but only consume space they
are actually using.
 More productive use of available storage.
 Across all supported host platforms.

Move data to the right place - Automated Data Migration
IBM Active Cloud Engine provides storage efficiency via
automated policy driven file management
 IBM Active Cloud Engine provides the capability to
automatically manage multiple storage pools for files:
• Internal storage pools (SAS, SATA)
• External storage pools (TAPE)
 IBM Active Cloud Engine provides:
• Initial placement
• Movement between pools
• Enforce a global storage hierarchy
 Capability to move files into external Tivoli Storage
Manager-managed storage pools, and recall it on demand
• over 650+ devices supported!
 High performance Active Cloud Engine can do this at scale
