The Smarter Software Storage Approach
Introducing IBM Spectrum Storage Software Solutions with Cloud Integration
IBM Spectrum Storage Suite
IBM Spectrum Storage Suite gives you unlimited
access to all members of the IBM Spectrum Storage
software family with licensing on a flat, cost-per-TB
basis to make pricing easy to understand and
predictable as capacity grows.
Structured specifically to meet changing storage
needs, the suite is ideal for organizations just starting
out with software-defined storage as well as those
with established infrastructures who need to expand
their capabilities.
The solution is IBM Spectrum Storage
IBM Spectrum Protect
IBM Spectrum Control
IBM Spectrum Archive IBM Spectrum Virtualize
IBM Spectrum Scale
IBM Spectrum Accelerate
An example of this premier model is
simple!
Lets say you purchase 100Tb of licenses. You can
use those licenses for any of these products!
As your needs change, you can carve up those
licenses by mixing and matching them as long as it
doesn’t exceed 100Tb total capacity. Add more
capacity at any time as you grow!

How RTC works with SVC/Storwize
14
 Dual software compression software engines for SVC DH8
–Take advantage of multi-core controller architecture
–Make better use of compression accelerator hardware
 Enable up to double amount of “half price storage” in a single system
–Even greater efficiency than before
–Delivers up to double IOPS for compressed workloads
 Expected performance per SVC DH8 I/O Group
–Up to 300K IOPS to compressed data
–Ability to scale up and out by adding more I/O groups (up to four total)
Now with integrated Comprestimator CLI utility for estimating expected compression rates.
With the identical compression algorithm that’s used on the compression cards,
Comprestimator will give very accurate results of +/- 5%!

• Increases usable capacity per rack typically to one
petabyte or more with Real-time Compression, greatly
reducing effective cost per capacity
• Replicates compressed data faster and using less
bandwidth, freeing up bandwidth for other uses
• Continuously displays predicted or actual compression
ratios for all volumes
• Converts non-compressed volumes to compressed
non-disruptively
• Enables license acquisition on new XIV systems and by
software upgrade to existing XIV Gen3 systems

Spectrum Control and Storage Insights
IBM Spectrum Control data management and storage
management solutions provide comprehensive
monitoring, automation and analytics. They address the
two most significant storage costs: physical capacity and
storage administration. You can get important insights
into cloud, virtualized and software defined storage
environments.
IBM data management and storage management
solutions can help to:
•Identify and categorize storage assets for file, block and
object data
•Generate departmental and application views of storage
•Optimize data placement within the infrastructure
•Identify unused and wasted storage space

Spectrum Control and Storage Insights Reporting
IBM Spectrum Control device management
capabilities include:
• Proactive performance management from a single,
integrated console for monitoring storage devices
• The monitoring of metrics, such as I/O rates and cache
utilization, and support for storage optimization
through the identification of the best logical unit
numbers(LUNs) across multiple storage subsystems
• The measuring and tracking of service levels by storing
historical performance statistics for analysis and report
generation
• Generation of timely alerts that enable event action by
setting performance thresholds based on business policies
• Historical data retention is 24 months for Capacity and 13
months for Performance with Storage Insights and Up to 48
months for Capacity and 39 months for Performance with
Virtual Storage Center

Improve storage uptime and simplify support efforts with
personalized assistance
Complex storage issues can cause downtime. And that can
obstruct your business operations. How do you efficiently
resolve these costly and high-impact problems?
Of course, your storage device service agreements with IBM
enable you to access robust support to help resolve high-
severity storage challenges. But without a technical advisor,
your staff still needs to know how to access help and determine
the issue.
With a technical advisor for storage from IBM, you can gain
continued technical support for critical issues—as well as
proactive advice for problem prevention.
• Improve uptime
