| IBM Systems Director |
- Provides integrated management for physical and virtual server infrastructures, including monitoring and repairing for higher availability and operational efficiency
|
| IBM Flex System Manager™ |
- With IBM PureFlex™ Systems, provides management integration of physical and virtual compute, storage and networking resources from a single vantage point.
|
| Dynamic migration |
- Provides efficiency and business value in a nondisruptive migration function
|
| IBM System Storage® Easy Tier® |
- Provides automatic migration of frequently accessed data elements to high-performing SSDs
|
| Clustered systems |
- Enable growth from the smallest configurations up to systems with 960 drives (up to 1.44 PB capacity)
|
| Thin provisioning |
- Supports business applications that need to grow dynamically, while consuming only the space actually used
|
| Unified storage |
- Combines block and file storage requirements into a single system for simplicity and efficiency
- Single user interface for managing both block and file storage streamlines administration
|
| IBM FlashCopy® |
- Creates a near-instant copy of active data that can be used for backup or for parallel processing activities; supports backup for recovering corrupted data
|
| Solid-state drive (SSD) |
- For applications that demand high disk speed, quick access to data and support for tiered storage environments
|
| IBM Active Cloud Engine™ |
- Reduces costs through policy-based management of files through use of tiered storage and improves data governance
- Automates movement of less-frequently used files to lower cost tiers of storage, including tape in an IBM Tivoli® Storage Manager system
- Automates deletion of unwanted or expired files
- Caches files at remote locations to help improve performance and reduce networking cost
|
| IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager |
- Helps minimize the impact of backups, provides near instant restore, shortens backup and recovery times, simplifies management and automates routine tasks
|
| Metro Mirror and Global Mirror |
- Allows synchronous or asynchronous data replication between systems for backup efficiency; used as failover in disaster recovery and for remote copy over distances
|
| IBM Real-time Compression |
- IBM Real-time Compression is designed to improve efficiency by storing up to five times as much active primary data in the same physical disk space.* By significantly reducing storage requirements, you can keep up to five times more information online, use the improved efficiency to reduce storage costs, or achieve a combination of greater capacity and reduced cost.
