The IBM XIV Storage System is a proven, high-end disk storage system designed to provide consistent Tier 1 performance and five-nines availability. XIV storage delivers low total cost of ownership (TCO) and drives efficiencies through simplification of storage for virtualization, email, database, analytics and data protection solutions. It provides consistent high performance for even the most demanding workloads, using massive parallelism to allocate system resources evenly at all times and to scale seamlessly without manual tuning. Its virtualized design and customer-acclaimed ease of management dramatically reduce administrative overhead and bring optimization to virtualized server and cloud environments.
| Capacity | XIV Gen3 (Model 114): From 27 TB to 243 TB usable per frame XIV (Model A14): From 27 TB to 161 TB usable per frame |
|---|---|
| Performance | Hotspot-free, consistent high performance for all workloads without manual tuning: XIV Gen3 is designed for ultra-high performance with an InfiniBand backplane, cache, optional SSD caching, and other state-of-the-art hardware, including eight Gbps Fibre Channel ports for very high-speed data transfer |
| Reliability | Designed for five-nines availability, active-active N+1 redundancy of all system components, rapid disk rebuild, self-healing |
