Flexible, scalable storage solutions for the on demand world
The heart and soul of a dynamic information infrastructure
IBM Storage solutions provide the capabilities needed to help organizations reduce cost and mitigate risks while managing continued information growth and service level demands. Dynamic environments, such as Cloud Computing and Service Oriented Architecture, require scalable, always on information services delivered by a robust information infrastructure foundation.
Storage is as important to a dynamic infrastructure 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 the payoff potentially more beneficial. IBM Information Infrastructure solutions can play a critical role in projects impacting resiliency, security, energy efficiency, virtualization, asset management, and service management.
IBM Information Infrastructure and System Storage solutions can help you manage information growth more effectively, dramatically improve service levels, lower costs, mitigate risks, and extract new intelligence for business insight.
With significant economic pressures facing most organizations, IBM is highlighting solutions that have rapid (that is, 12 months or less) return on investment. In many situations, IBM can eliminate 50% of the network cards and cables, help eliminate the risk and expense of physically transporting data on tapes for backup or disaster recovery, and help migrate information to more affordable storage with little or no application downtime.
Reducing costs is not just about containing operational cost and complexity, but also achieving breakthrough productivity gains through virtualization, optimization, energy stewardship, and flexible sourcing.
IBM's revolutionary and patented ProtecTIER data deduplication technology provides market leading performance, capacity, and scalability. IBM is now delivering this enterprise-class technology to medium sized businesses that are struggling with protecting rapidly growing amounts of data. The new TS7650 ProtecTIER Deduplication Appliance is an easy to install solution that helps solve backup difficulties without having to make radical changes to the backup environment.
Major enhancements to the Tivoli Storage Productivity Center suite improve storage management in cloud environments. Tivoli Storage Productivity Center 4.1 simplifies storage management, enables end–to–end storage management, improves ease–of–use, reduces storage complexity, increases performance and service levels capabilities, and integrates with other Tivoli products to maximize deployment benefits of IBM Service Management strategy.
This IBM Software and Services solution delivers best practices and automation for online data migration to right–sized Storage. Enhanced data migration software speeds Windows data migrations and reduces service interruptions.
