Storage Virtualization is . . .
Logical
Representation
Technology that makes one set of resources look and
feel like another set of resources, preferably with more
desirable characteristics…
A logical representation of resources not constrained
by physical limitations
– Hides some of the complexity
– Adds or integrates new function with existing services
Virtualization
– Can be nested or applied to multiple layers of a system
Physical Resources

Disk Storage Virtualization Delivers $ Value
 Enterprise Strategy Group reports that early virtualization adopters on average
every year save:



24% on hardware costs
16% on software costs
19% on SAN administration costs
 With a $1 million budget spending $500,000 on hardware, $200,000 on software,
and $300,000 on administration
Annual savings would be $209,000

“IBM’s vision of storage and
storage virtualization
matched our view of how it
should be done.”
“Virtualization has enabled
us to remove a lot of the
physical infrastructure,
which means we’re not
using as much power, we’re
not using as much cooling.
It has reduced our carbon
footprint and lowered our
operating costs while
giving us room to grow.”

SVC Entry Edition
 SVC value proposition of reduced costs, better utilization,
simplification, and reduced management costs appeals to SMBs but …
 SMB customers have been concerned about cost of acquiring SVC
 SVC EE is a more affordable hardware and software SVC offering
optimized to meet the needs of these customers
 SVC EE has the same easy-to-use interface, commands, functions,
and benefits as the regular SVC offering
– There are no new sales skills to learn
– There are no new implementation skills to learn
 SVC EE expands the range of target customers for SVC
 SVC EE supports customer growth through conversion to regular SVC
offering
– No financial penalty from starting with SVC EE if growth leads to
migration to regular SVC offering

IBM Systems and Technology Group
SVC EE Licensing
 SVC EE software is licensed to a single cluster
– If you have two SVC EE clusters at a site, you need two
SVC EE licenses
 SVC EE software is licensed based on the number of
physical disk drives managed
– Excludes spare drives but includes RAID parity drives
– Size of drive does not matter
– SVC EE becomes more attractively priced with larger disk drives
– If a drive contains any data managed by SVC, the drive
must be included in the license count
– Generally easiest to license entire disk boxes or at least
RAID arrays
36
Sales Conference – DS3000 and DS4000 Intro

IBM Systems and Technology Group
SVC EE Disk Drive Licensing
 SVC EE is licensed by physical disk drives managed
 If you are selling disk at the same time, easy to know how
many drives will be managed
 Disk drive size does not matter
– SVC EE may be very attractive for customers wanting to
create archive environments with 1TB drives
– Creates an incentive for customers to upgrade to new
technology
– Propose SVC+IBM disk to upgrade entire environment
 Purchase additional drive entitlements as customer storage
grows
37
Sales Conference – DS3000 and DS4000 Intro
© 2009 IBM Corporation
IBM Systems and Technology Group
SVC EE FlashCopy and MM/GM Licensing
 FlashCopy and MM/GM are optional licensed functions of SVC EE
 If required, FlashCopy and MM/GM must be licensed for the same
number of drives as base virtualization
– Prices for replication functions are less than for base
virtualization
 For MM/GM, you can have SVC EE at one site and regular SVC at
the other if desired
 For MM/GM, the licensed capacities at each site can be different
 If you upgrade base virtualization drive entitlement, you must also
upgrade FlashCopy and MM/GM if they are licensed

Converting SVC EE to Regular SVC
 SVC EE licenses may be converted to regular SVC licenses to support customer
growth
– There is no conversion from regular SVC to SVC EE
 Full details of the conversion process will be available shortly
 SVC EE licenses must be in PPA for the conversion
– AAS licenses must be migrated to PPA first
 First, the SVC EE license must be upgraded to maximum number of drives
– Includes FlashCopy and MM/GM if licensed
 Next, the SVC EE license is converted to a regular SVC license with the same list
price
– 12TB base virtualization
– 3TB FlashCopy and 4TB MM/GM if licensed
 Finally, the SVC license may be upgraded to match customer capacity requirements
 Conversion process protects customer investment in IBM SVC software
– No penalty for choosing SVC EE first and converting to regular SVC later
 SVC 2145-8A4 Storage Engines retained for regular SVC

Data Migration with SVC
 When deploying SVC with new disk, SVC may be used to migrate
data off old disk to new disk
 Migration may require temporary authorization for more capacity
than is required long term
– For example, migrating from 15TB of old disk to 20TB of new
disk may require 35TB of disk to be attached to SVC
 IBM will authorize a temporary “grace period” during which the
customer may exceed the licensed capacity solely for the purpose of
migrating to new disk
– This grace period may not exceed 45 days
 Request authorization from Dorothy Faurot, [email protected]
