Introducing IBM Spectrum Storage Software Solutions new software licensing!
The solution is 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, 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.

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!

The Smarter Storage Approach
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%!

IBM intends to enhance IBM Spectrum Virtualize with additional capabilities for flash drive
optimization and management. These capabilities are intended to help increase the service
life and usability of flash drives, particularly read intensive flash drives. The capabilities are
planned to include:
• Data deduplication for workloads and use cases where it complements our existing
industry leading compression technology
• Improved flash memory management ("garbage collection")
• Additional flash drive wear management and reporting.
By implementing these capabilities in IBM Spectrum Virtualize, they are planned to be
available for IBM Storwize family, FlashSystem V9000, and SAN Volume Controller offerings
as well as VersaStack and IBM PurePower systems.
IBM intends to implement support for the SCSI "unmap" command in IBM Spectrum
Virtualize, which is designed to reclaim space on thin provisioned volumes that has been
deleted by server software.

IBM Spectrum Virtualize Software Defined Storage Solutions
Clients need a more agile IT infrastructure able to handle both larger and faster growing amounts of data but also more types of data. Need to be able to respond more quickly to enable delivery of applications faster than ever. Deployment of cloud infrastructures means virtualized servers for efficiency and flexibility that need a match in the storage infrastructure for the same reasons. Cost remains a critical issue in the data center and addressing these needs by wholesale replacement of the infrastructure just isn’t an option. Nor is ignoring these issues. And whatever you do, downtime for applications just isn’t viable either.
In summary, clients need to improve data value, data security, and data simplicity.
IBM Spectrum Virtualize software helps address these challenges and more by transforming the storage infrastructure you already have, and seamlessly integrating new storage.
IBM Spectrum Virtualize improves your storage in these three key ways:
Data Value
You need to increase the value of your data while reducing cost.
Data Security
Data that has value needs to be secured so it can’t get lost, maliciously disclosed, or becomes unavailable.
Data Simplicity
With more work to do and less time, you need storage to be simple and flexible with fewer different points of control and more consistency.
Let’s look at how IBM Spectrum Virtualize does this in a little more detail.
