Simplified storage management
One of the most significant advantages of the Power™ Systems family is its
unique storage architecture. It can provide more flexibility than
standalone Windows® server implementations, where dedicated disk
drives are typically attached to each server and every server's
capacity is managed separately. With IBM i integration, there is
a single pool of virtual storage that Windows may share. "Virtual
disks" are allocated in IBM i to each System x or blade server individually,
yet all physical disk capacity and drive utilization is automatically
managed by IBM i for improved performance and
asset utilization. If a Windows server begins to run out of disk
space, additional virtual storage may be allocated simply and easily,
without rebooting.
