virtual private storage machines are the perfect compliment to mainframe LPARs and together they
provide workload isolation and optimum quality of service. This will be enhanced in the near future
when FICON qualified to support external storage, along with Universal Volume Manager. This is not
a statement that the ST 9990 V comes with internal SATA storage.
Key Application Areas and Opportunities:
●
Customers with multiple heterogeneous storage systems who wish to reduce their storage
management complexity and cost by aggregating all of their storage as a common pool of ST9985V
external storage and exploit the benefits of common software capabilities across the storage pool
●
Customers seeking the performance or capacity of a “high-end” enterprise storage system with very
high reliability and availability characteristics for mission-critical applications.
●
Existing ST9990 customers who wish to deploy an additional system at their Disaster Recovery
site can deploy either a ST9985V with only internal storage, or a ST9985V with externally attached
lower cost or legacy storage for a more cost-effective disaster recovery solution
●
Enterprise storage customers who seek a storage technology refresh but wish to protect the
investment in their current storage systems that are not yet fully depreciated, can attach their
legacy storage to ST9985V externally, and exploit the unique virtualization, storage partitioning,
universal replication, and other common software tools with their older storage technology
●
For customers who are replacing their existing storage systems that are nearing the end of life,
ST9985V provides them with an easier and less disruptive data migration and transition to newer
technology.
●
Customers who wish to implement a storage chargeback system based on the amount of storage
resources allocated to each application or dept. can utilize ST9985V’s virtual private storage machines
to dedicate and charge for a fixed amount of storage for each application or department, with the
flexibility to change that allocation as needed.
●
Customers who wish to offer their end-users a service level agreement that includes the option for
differentiated classes of storage to match the level of service they wish to pay for, can deploy ST9985V
with internal storage and one or more differentiated types of external storage
●
Customers who wish to deploy a data life cycle management solution across multiple differentiated
tiers of storage can exploit HiCommand Tiered Storage Manager and other ST9900 Family copy
software to non-disruptively move data between storage tiers as the value or usage model for that data
changes over time. The result is optimum storage utilization and performance, and a lower overall
TCO.
●
Customers who wish to store a large amount of secure, online data due to regulatory compliance or
other long term data retention requirements can externally attach Sun SATA storage archive capability,
or other archive capable storage products from Sun’s extensive storage portfolio.
●
Customers who wish to physically consolidate multiple storage systems into one ST9985V storage
system, but wish to continue to maintain workload isolation that was previously afforded by separate
and distinct storage systems, can do so with private virtual storage machines within a single ST9985V
system.
●
Mainframe LPAR customers who wish to extend their server workload isolation and QOS to include
data isolation and QOS can configure and dedicate a ST9985V virtual private storage machine to each
mainframe LPAR that requires it.
●
Open Systems customers who wish to isolate storage resource-intensive applications like data
replication and data back-up and Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) can dedicate one or more
ST9985V virtual private storage machines to the resource-intensive applications to improve the quality
of service of it, and the other storage applications.
