Intelligent Storage
The document discusses emerging trends in storage technologies, including storage and network convergence, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and solid state drives. It notes that grid storage is becoming unavoidable as these technologies advance. The document also summarizes IBM's Storwize family of storage systems and provides success stories for the Storwize systems sold through Ingram Micro.

- 2. Grid Storage? Unavoidable or Passing you by? Storage and Network Convergence • the end of HBA’s, NICs – CNA’s in every server? FCoE/DCB/DCE and CEE • the storage and network players and the ANSI/IEEE standards – are we there yet? What of IBM’s XIV, V7000, V3700? • a Seismic shift in the storage landscape is coming our way – Grid Storage is unavoidable! Will iSCSI survive beyond 10Gb • and why do you care/why should you care? What of ANSI’s SCSI3 FC-SW and FC-AL standards and protocols? • are we returning to the bad old days of vendor lock in across new world order of ‘converged infrastructure’? Last dance for FC-SW? SAS • is better than you think but not for the reasons that you think! Solid State Hard Drives • expensive? Maybe not………look again!
