– Sold out in 4Q10
– Tremendous positive reception around the world
– One of the fastest product ramps in IBM storage history
 Over 1,100 customers world-wide
– Presence in every major country and industry
– Almost 40% are installations with customers previously not using IBM
storage

Storwize V7000: Well-Received by Reviewers
“With the Storwize V7000 IBM has taken its
proven enterprise-class SVC storage
virtualisation software and deployed it on a
custom storage appliance, making the
functionality accessible to a much broader
mid-range market.
A well executed implementation, all the
features of SVC are there, including thin
provisioning, snap-shotting and Easy Tiering
data migration to fast solid state disks. Added
to which the V7000 can be used to dynamically
migrate external SAN storage to dramatically
cut the time it takes to move to a new SAN
platform.
Clearly aimed at mid-sized organisations, the
V7000 is well built, well specified and very
scalable. It's also competitively priced and
well worth considering against other mid-range
storage solutions from EMC, HP, NetApp and
others, many of which charge extra for
functionality such as thin provisioning that
comes as standard on the V7000.”

nondisruptive upgrade to V6.2 software
 Control enclosures in a clustered system can be any combination of
Models 112, 124, 312, 324
 Clustered system operates and is managed as a single storage system
 Adding a second control enclosure to an existing system is nondisruptive
 All host interface ports can use storage attached to either control enclosure, including
external virtualized storage
 No extra feature to order and no extra charge for clustered systems
 Storwize V7000 clustered systems do not support “split cluster” configurations

About the client
A premier public research university in the United States
Client challenge
Refreshing storage technology in two data centers
Client need
Needed an easy-to-manage and flexible storage system that
would fully integrate into its existing IT infrastructure with built-in
replication between sites. The solution needed to meet the
university’s high-performance requirements.
Solution implementation
Four IBM Storwize V7000 disk systems with 13 expansion
units and eight 300 GB solid state drives (SSD).
Benefit of the solution
The university uses IBM Easy Tier, thin provisioning, data
migration and remote replication functions - to support

configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput
improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated here.
