IBM Spectrum Virtualize – Key Features
Easy Tier
• Automatically moves extents between
Flash, Enterprise and Nearline disk
Thin Provisioning, Deduplication
and Compression
— Inline compression for active primary
workloads
— Intel QuickAssist co-processor
— Up to 80% Savings - More effective than
Data Deduplication for active workloads
— Ideal for Databases, VMs, CAD/CAM
Engineering blueprints, etc.
Data-at-Rest Encryption
• AES 256 bit encryption implemented in
FlashSystem V9000, SVC and Storwize
controllers
o Does not require Self-Encrypting
Drives (SED)
o Supports internal and externally
virtualized storage
• Works with all other features including
Real-time Compression and Easy Tier
o Data is compressed first, then
encrypted
• Encryption keys stored on USB
memory sticks, IBM SKLM server, or
both!
• No performance impact to
applications!

Easy Tier
Automatic storage hierarchy
– Mixed storage pool with 2 or more tiers
1. Tier 0 Flash (write endurance)
2. Tier 1 Flash (read-intensive)
3. Enterprise 15K/10K spinning disk
4. Nearline 7200 RPM spinning disk
Volumes belong to a single pool
– Each volume is a collection of extents on the
storage pool
– An extent is either on Flash, Enterprise or
Nearline disk
I/O Monitor keeps access history for each
virtualization extent
– Extent sizes already defined for the storage
pool (16MB to 8GB in size)
– Default is 1 GB extent size
– Every 5 minutes

NPIV and Hot Spare Nodes
Hot Spare Node
• One to four spare nodes can be added to
configuration
• Normally inactive
• When an active node goes offline, system
automatically adds spare node to I/O group
after 1-5 minutes, restoring full redundancy
• When original node returns to service,
spare node becomes inactive✖

— Extent size 16 MiB to 8 GiB
— Maximum 4 DRP pools per cluster
— No child pools, VVol support,

Migrating to Data Reduction Pools
Step 1: Create 1 to 4 DRP pools
• Select sufficiently large enough extent
size to meet your anticipated needs

Step 2: Perform Volume
Mirror
• For each volume to move,
add “Copy 1” on the DRP pool
• I/O group cannot support
both RACE™ RtC-
compression and
Deduplication
• Once copies are complete,
remove Copy 0 from Legacy
Storage pools to turn off

to move to Deduplication, or
Deduplication with

When and Where should Data be Encrypted?
Data In-Use:
Data is encrypted/decrypted
based on user’s authorization
as the data is being used
Data In-Flight:
Data is encrypted while data
travels from one system to
another, or from one location
to another
Data At-Rest:
Data is encrypted at the
storage device

• Data Deduplication first, compress
only unique blocks of data
• Compressed data in cache to
increase hit ratios
• Compress existing data without
downtime
• Encryption done last, to optimize
benefits of reduction methods
