CEOs believe technology will be at the forefront of driving
change through 2015*
“71% of CEOs identify
technology change as
the most important
external force impacting
their organizations”*
78% CFOs report that
pressure remains high to
control costs and increase
efficiency
Is your storage infrastructure
optimized for the greatest efficiency
of all your applications and
resources?
Does your storage infrastructure
enable you to provide rich, actionable
insight?
* IBM, Leading Through Connections: Insights from the Global Chief Executive Officer Study, May 2012.

The real question
Will your infrastructure block or enable change?
Only 1 in 5
clients have highly
efficient IT
infrastructures
allocating 50% more of
their IT budget to new
projects1

Key Virtualization Features
Thin Provisioning
 Satisfy provisioning requests but allocate
storage only when data is written
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

The benchmark was performed using a Storwize V7000 system with 48 x 300GB SAS disks. 1.2TB database with 700
concurrent clients were used in the benchmark. The same test was performed
with compressed volumes and non-compressed volumes.

• Client comments
– “It’s an exception to have a new piece of software
work so well”
– “This [beta test] was worth our time and we
discovered that it really performs up to the
marketing hype”
• Client compression achieved
– VMware volumes: 76%
– Oracle: as much as 90%
– Lotus Domino: 70%
• Client performance experiences
– Storwize V7000: Performance neutral
– SVC: One client saw 2.5x better throughput with
Real-time Compression for an Oracle workload

IBM Storwize family* leverages Active Cloud Engine
for global file management
• IBM Active Cloud Engine
– Policy-driven engine that helps improve storage
efficiency by automatically
– High-performance: can scan large numbers
of files very rapidly
• Client Value
– Moves data to users. Users do not chase data.
– Lowers storage cost by moving files transparently
to the most appropriate tier of storage
– Controls storage growth by moving older files to
tape and deleting unwanted or expired files
– Enhances administrator productivity by automating
file management
– Improves data protection by identifying files
for backup or disaster recovery
* Available on Storwize V7000 Unified. See speaker notes for SOD.
