SAN Volume Controller
The IBM Virtualization Engine platform is a complete
portfolio which helps “virtualize everything” - providing
a flexible, well–controlled environment for new levels of
simplicity, functionality and business value.
Commit to openness to redefine how to acquire
systems, avoid being “locked in” and achieve needed
interoperability between IBM products as well as third
party products.
Collaborate to innovate- managing greater levels of
data and interaction, faster creation of unique solutions
and communities of innovators to accelerate invention.

Why Virtualize everything?
 Expands the traditional view of
virtualization beyond just basic
partitioning
 Extends to the whole of IT to include:
– Virtualization solutions for dynamic
partitioning
– Advanced systems management
resource discovery
– Provisioning
– Workload allocation
– Storage virtualization tools

Business Continuity with SVC
Traditional SAN
SAN Volume Controller
Replication API’s differ by vendor
Common replication API, SAN-wide, that
does not change as storage hardware
changes
Replication destination must be the
same as the source
Different multipath drivers for each array
Lower-cost disks offer primitive, or no
replication services

zSeries
 Support for Linux operating environments implemented on
IBM System z9 and zSeries platforms with storage
managed by SAN Volume Controller. This capability is
intended to:
Linux-x86
Windows
UNIX
Virtual disks
– Enable System z9 and zSeries servers to utilize open systems
storage pools created by SAN Volume Controller
– Create a tiered storage environment for Linux operating
environments in System z9 and zSeries server environments
SAN
– Simplify volume management by combining mainframe and
open systems storage environments into a single pool,
managed from a central point
– Expand the host environments managed by SAN Volume
Controller
