Future Vision
Server/Storage Convergence
 Infrastructure in a box
Shark LPAR Vision
"IBM is looking to use the pSeries infrastructure to deliver
LPAR capability within ESS. Storage-oriented middleware
will then be able to run within ESS and provide an integrated,
high-function solution. For example, NAS gateways, Tivoli
Storage Management, and Tivoli Storage Resource
Management could be delivered in ESS LPARs. Over time,
this capability could be enhanced with increasingly dynamic
allocation of the resources available to the various LPARs
and with virtualization of the communications paths between
the LPARs."

Byte and Switch: Strong Storage Sales Boast IBM’s 2nd Qtr Results
 IBM’s storage revenues were up 12 percent from the same period last
year.
 IBM’s disk business grew 20 percent in second quarter, according to
the CFO, who singled out the contribution of the firm’s DS8000
storage system.
 IBM had double-digit growth in enterprise disk on continued strength
of the DS8000, which was up 24 percent.
 Mid-range and low-end disk, growing 28 percent.”
 At least one analyst feels that IBM’s mainframe business, which grew
32 percent year-over-year, also helped boost its storage operation.
 IBM’s System z growth helped drive the reported 12 percent year-toyear growth in storage – as customers select IBM storage to support
their mainframe environments,” wrote TBR analyst Josh Farina, in a
note released last night. “We expect that IBM’s storage will continue
to post double digit growth in the second half of 08 as growth returns
to its tape segment and disk continues to benefit from IBM’s high-end
server growth.”
