Critical to the success of your business, the storage devices in your data center must work seamlessly together. You want advancements in technology, but you want to make sure your data is risk free. You want to partner with a company you can trust to give you technology innovation that matters.
IBM System Storage
You can realize innovation with IBM storage devices designed for high performance, scalability, and workload optimization.
Your System z10 server and IBM System Storage disk, tape, SAN and virtualization systems. The future runs on System z.
DS8000
The IBM System Storage™ DS8000™ series is a line of enterprise–class disk storage servers that has established new standards for high–end environments. It delivers superior processing power and higher bandwidth than competing products–at economical prices. Together with System z10® servers, IBM DS8000 platforms provide performance and flexibility for today’s demanding data–intensive computing environments. The DS8000 is best suited for customers demanding the highest performance, availability and advanced functions to complement their mainframe environment, scaling way up to 512 TB capacity and 256 GB Cache.
TPC for Replication manages advanced storage systems
IBM TotalStorage® Productivity Center (TPC) for Replication V3.4 helps you manage the advanced copy services provided by IBM ESS model 800, IBM DS8000™, and IBM DS6000™, including management of IBM FlashCopy®, Metro Mirror and Global Mirror capabilities. TPC V3.4 also extends Metro Mirror and Global Mirror services to include IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller (SVC). With TPC for Replication V3.4 your IT experts can use a single integrated tool for storage management, a feature designed to save administrators time and effort.
The IBM TotalStorage® SAN768B is a next generation high–performance, high–density and high–availability SAN director designed to be the foundation for large enterprise–class infrastructure simplification. Previous Brocade–type switches were limited to 4 Gbs speeds; the SAN768B can be configured with an 8Gb blade and 8 Gb switches. The technology advancements of the SAN768B can serve as both the core or edge building block in an IBM TotalStorage b–type fabric or as a high–density stand-alone director, helping provide investment protection and configuration flexibility.
The IBM Virtualization Engine™ TS7700 is a mainframe virtual–tape solution that is designed to optimize tape processing. Through the implementation of a fully integrated tiered storage hierarchy of disk and tape, the benefits of both technologies can be leveraged to help enhance performance and provide the capacity needed for today’s tape processing requirements. Deploying this innovative subsystem may help reduce batch processing time, total cost of ownership and management overhead. The TS7700 Virtualization Engine is an ideal virtualization solution for your System z™ environment.
