As the world becomes more interconnected, instrumented and intelligent—and creates more and more information—we have no choice but to stop perpetuating existing infrastructure inefficiencies, many of which are related to storage. Companies must start relying on smarter information storage systems that can handle all of this information and manage it intelligently. To address these inefficiencies, IBM has considerable resources developing storage efficiency solutions based on a set of essential technologies.
Help reduce cost and improve access times by storing information more intelligently.
- Efficiently use solid state drives to increase performance by up to 200% on critical applications.
- Reduce costs by migrating less critical data to less expensive media.
Enhance throughput and response time by reducing the amount of data processed.
- Improve online storage optimisation and dramatically lower costs.
- Transparently compress primary storage up to 80 percent.
- Increase the efficiency of primary, active data--without slowing application performance--with IBM Real-time Compression, the newest innovation in storage efficiency.
Eliminate redundant data, increase agility and improve responsiveness to changing marketplace conditions.
- Improved backup and recovery performance
- Sustain inline deduplication speeds of 1,000MB per second or more.
Consolidated, cloud-based flexible delivery models for storage can help you give your end users control of their storage needs – while improving accountability. Give departments the ability to provision storage to meet changing demands and developers the ability to set up systems to build and test applications while also maintaining system reliability.
Optimise the utilisation of available storage by allocating storage space as needed while improving storage utilisation rates significantly.
- Optimise the utilisation of available storage.
- Reduce capital costs and lessen the need for new storage devices.
Logically aggregate disk storage so capacity can be efficiently allocated across applications and users.
- Increase utilisation of existing storage by up to 30%
- Move and manage data so hardware can be serviced—all without disrupting users.
With improved visibility into the data and data utilisation in your storage environment, you can make more intelligent business decisions around efficiency - so that you respond faster to changing business demands while reducing cost.
