…the IBM storage

hypervisor can

help bridge the

gap in the

storage

infrastructure



Server and Storage Hypervisors

Server hypervisors…

– Virtualize physical servers driving up efficiency

– Allow for transparent mobility of virtual machines

– Improve labor efficiency through a common management

interface regardless of the type of OS running in the virtual

machine or brand of hardware being utilized

IBM offers the hypervisor for storage…



VMWare optimizes the x86 server infrastructure.

Now, consider doing the same for the storage infrastructure.

Storage Hypervisor: Customer case studyIBM Global Account (IGA)

Business challenge:

IGA (IBM’s internal operations) is a massive operation. Data growth

and labor costs were outpacing budgets. Provisioning responsiveness was

not meeting objectives.

Benefits:

Provisioning time reduced from months to days

20% increase in storage utilization

50% reduction in cost / TB through consolidation and tiering

Block Storage Solution:

Implement a Storage Hypervisor with IBM System Storage SAN

Volume Controller and Tivoli Storage Productivity Center. With 9PB of

tiered storage now virtualized and connected to over 35k fibre channel

ports, IGA can improve labor productivity and storage efficiency while

delivering higher service levels.
