Disk storage systems

IBM Storwize V7000 is a powerful midrange disk system that has been designed to be easy to use and enable rapid deployment without additional resources. Storwize V7000 offers IBM storage virtualisation, SSD optimisation and “thin provisioning” technologies built in to improve storage utilisation and to enable the system to be reconfigured to meet changing needs quickly and easily. Storwize V7000 advanced functions also enable non-disruptive migration of data from existing storage, simplifying implementation and minimising disruption to users. IBM Storwize V7000 also allows you to virtualise and reuse existing disk systems, supporting a greater potential return on investment (ROI).
