Remote mirroring
This feature provides storage system-based data replication by using synchronous or asynchronous
data transfers over IP, FC, or FCoE communication links.
For ultimate flexibility, Storwize V5000 remote mirroring interoperates with any other Storwize family
system, including Storwize V7000, Storwize V3700, and SAN Volume Controller.
Metro Mirror maintains a fully synchronized copy at metropolitan distances (up to 300 km)
Global Mirror operates asynchronously and helps maintain a copy at greater distances (up to
8000 km)
The remote mirroring licenses must be acquired for the primary (local) and secondary (remote)
systems. If Storwize V5000 is mirrored to a system other than Storwize V5000, the other system
must have the appropriate and applicable licenses for remote mirroring.
External Virtualization
This feature helps consolidate storage systems from various vendors that are connected into single
FC networking. Storage administrator can manage and provision storage to applications from a
single user interface and use a common set of advanced functions across all the storage systems
under the control of Storwize V5000.
