Multi-platform connectivity
* Heterogeneous multi protocol
connectivity
* 48 FC, 24 ESCON, 24 FICON
channels and NAS (Q4CY07)
* Better per port performance using
faster processors
* 4Gb/s FC ports
* High performance Open Systems,
Mainframe and NAS connectivity
Embedded Storage
Virtualization
* Multi-platform storage pooling
* Up to 96 PB of external storage
virtualization
* Virtualization engine for
heterogeneous storage
Allows customers to consolidate,
centrally manage and provide
transparent data migration for up to 96
petabytes of external
heterogeneous storage to simplify
management and reduce cost
Up to 72TB internal and
96TB external storage
support
* Support for up 240 internal
HDDs
* Support for 96 PB of external
Storage
* Virtualizes multiple tiers of internal
and storage to enable
simplified configurations and
aggregated connectivity
Virtual Partitioning (Virtual
Private Storage Machines)
* Virtual partitioning of cache, I/O
ports and disk to create up to 8
Virtual Private Storage Machines
* Enhanced security and optimize
application performance with highest
levels of QoS
Universal Replicator
* Any-to-any heterogeneous
replication
* Disk journaling for in path data
protection
* Pull technology for WAN
performance and cost optimization
* Multi-hop capability
* Delta resync support for highest
level of RPO and RTO
* Any to any replication, local or
remote with optimized performance
and data protection
* Optimization of WAN performance
and cost
* Highest level of RPO (Recovery
Point Objective) and RPO (Recovery
Point Objective)
Dynamic Provisioning
* Provide Thin Provisioning
capability and enable storage over
allocation will less physical disk
requirement
* Enable non-disruptive capacity
upgrades when needed
* Spreads workloads across greater
number of disks for optimizing
application performance and
eliminating hot spots
* Simplifies storage provisioning
administration
- Improve disk utilization
- Eliminates application service
interruptions during capacity upgrades
- Improved physical disk utilization
- Improved application performance
because workloads are spread
across a shared pool of physical disks
- Lower power & cooling
requirements due to fewer disks
- Simplifies storage provisioning and
performance tuning administration
- Greatly reduces operation cost due to
over purchase and management
of unused disk
Mirrored Data Cache
Data cache boards are mirrored and
battery backed up
Provides data protection in the event
one of the data cache boards
experiences a failure. Battery backup,
good for 36 minutes, allows time
for data to be destaged to disk in order
to preserve data
