IBM Storwize v More performance. More efficiency. No compromises.

2. Storwize v3700 Overview
Over the past eight years, technology – in its widest sense – has progressively risen on CEOs’ radar. It now ranks as the number-one factor impacting organizations.
How do we know this? Because we talked to CEO’s – 1700 of the them. Our biannual (every 2 years) IBM Institute for Business Value study, now in its eight year, is based on 1,700 face-to-face interviews with CEOs and public sector leaders in 64 countries across 18 industries, making it the largest study of its kind.
For the first time in its 8-year history, business leaders across all industries and countries identified technology as the most important external force impacting their organizations.
These business leaders are asking urgent, perceptive questions that used to considered the exclusive realm of the IT office.
Questions like,
Is your infrastructure optimized for the greatest efficiency of all your resources?
Does your infrastructure provide rich, actionable insight?
Does your infrastructure leverage new technologies – mobile, social, cloud – to deliver an excellent customer experience at every touch point?
TRANSITION: Yet underlying each of these questions is a more fundamental one…

10. Storwize V3700: Self Optimizing
Thin Provisioning (incluido)
Thin provisioning
More productive use of available storage.
Across all supported host platforms.
Improve storage utilization by enabling applications to consuming only the space they are using
Dynamic growth
Without thin provisioning, pre-allocated 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.
IBM Easy Tier SSD Management (opcional)
Busiest portions of data identified and automatically relocated to high performance solid-state drives
Remaining data can take advantage of higher capacity disk drives
SSDs
HDDs
