Flexible, scalable storage solutions for the on demand world
Storage hardware, software, and services are as important to a dynamic enterprise as servers and networks. Because of the explosion of information in most data centers, storage can be more challenging to tame than server resources, but potentially more beneficial. IBM has a history of innovation in developing proven and tested technologies for the future.
IBM addresses key technologies to help you manage and expand your business.
IBM continually develops industry-leading solutions to give clients the performance they need to enable their businesses. IBM enables projects that drive efficiency, performance, and security; such as consolidation, data protection, and storage management simplification. The ongoing cross-IBM initiative promises significant energy savings and dramatic I/O performance improvements.
High Performance
With the DS8000 v4.2 Disk System, IBM is the first vendor to offer drive-level disk encryption. With new solid state and 1 TB SATA drives, IBM's flagship enterprise storage system, DS8000, improves both efficiency and the ability to deliver desired information service levels. With scalability of over 1 PB and support for three tiers of storage, the DS8000 can help save costs through consolidation. New solid-state drives for IBM System Storage DS8000 can decrease back-end drive response times. Faster access to data can dramatically increase service levels for time-sensitive, revenue-generating applications.
Solid State Storage
IBM is delivering smarter technology to enable clients to get more value from Solid State storage. IBM's world class research capability helps clients leverage solid state storage technology more effectively. IBM has designed Solid State storage optimization capabilities into database, storage virtualization, disk storage, server, and storage management solutions. No other vendor has this breadth of R&D capability. IBM clients can get both Solid State storage technology and the ability to manage it effectively.
Deduplication
IBM's deduplication solutions empower customers to retain data longer, protect data more reliably, and save money by reducing energy, floor space, and maintenance requirements. And only IBM, with our global network of employees and Business Partners, can deliver the expertise and resources needed to design, integrate and support this technology to customers of all sizes around the globe.
