IBM Introduced a New Era in Midrange Disk Systems
 IBM Storwize V7000 announced October 7, 2010
• Very well-received by customers, business partners and reviewers
• Tremendous positive reception around the world
• Presence in every major country and industry
 Over 13.200 systems sold world-wide since Nov 2010 GA (Sep 2012)
There have been numerous attempts at
repackaging high-end enterprise products for a
wider audience, but few get it right. One
exception, however, could be IBM’s new Storwize
V7000, which mixes enterprise-class storage
virtualization with custom hardware and an
intuitive management interface to create a highly
scalable, yet easy-to-deploy, mid-range storage
solution.

What is Storwize V3700 ?
Storwize V3700 is an entry level storage controller
1Gb/s iSCSI host attachment
Optional: 10Gb/s iSCSI, 8Gb FC, FCoE
Internal virtualization gives access to advanced functions
– thin provisioned volumes, flash copy, mirroring
SAS network for expansion (up to 4 expansion
enclosures)
Internal drives
– SSD, 15K SAS, 10K SAS and NL SAS
– supports up to 120 x 2.5”, 60 x 3.5”
Customer installable and maintainable

Controller Enclosure – Rear
Looks identical on
type 12C and 24C
Rear of the Enclosure:
– There are two power supply slots along the bottom of the unit, each taking up half of
1U. The left hand slot is power supply 1, the right hand slot is power supply 2. The
power supplies are inserted the same way up (unlike V7000).
– There are two canister slots along the top of the unit, again taking up half of 1U The
left slot is canister 1, the right slot is canister 2. The canisters are inserted the same
way up (unlike V7000)
– Fans are contained within the PSU, replacement requires a new PSU
– Fan speed is variable and under system control
– Fans continue to operate in a PSU which has failed or lost AC power

Node Canister
Four 6 Gb/s SAS ports
– currently only port 4 is used (for
additional enclosure connections)
Two USB 2.0 ports
– one port used during install
Two 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet ports
– Usage of port 1 is required, port 2 is optional
Optional Host Interface Cards

SAS Ports and Cables
SAS cable is comprised of
four individual wire pairs
providing four 6Gbps links or
lanes per cable
Each SAS lane/link is 6Gbps
– Drives are dual ported
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
– Path to drives is a single lane from
each canister in an enclosure
providing redundancy
A single SAS 2.0 wide port delivers up
to 24Gb/s throughput. With a total of
four SAS ports on the control enclosure
the theoretical throughput capability of
a Storwize V7000 is 96Gbps.

IBM Storwize V7000 Real-time Compression
Compression Without Compromise – It Works with Active Primary Data
 Innovative, easy-to-use compression fully integrated
into Storwize V7000
– It uses same proven Random-Access Compression Engine
(RACE) as IBM RtC Appliances
 High performance implementation can be used with
active primary data
– Supports workloads off-limits to other arrays
– Significantly expands candidates data for compression
– Greater compression benefits through use on more types of data
 It operates immediately and is easy to manage
– No need to schedule periods to run post-process compression
– Eliminates need to reserve space for uncompressed data waiting
post-processing
 By using V7000 virtualization, it significantly enhances
the value of existing storage assets (including nonIBM)
Virtual Servers
(VMware)
 Compression can help freeze storage growth or delay
need for additional purchases. It helps reduce
Office
– Storage purchase costs
– Rack space, Power and cooling
– Software costs for additional functions
