Learn about SAP with IBM Tivoli FlashCopy Manager
for VMware and IBM XIV and IBM Storwize V7000 storage systems to create an effective VMware backup / restore solution for the SAP landscape.
This white paper describes IBM® Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager™ for VMware® with SAP® NetWeaver™ and provides a complete data protection solution for VMware vSphere™ environments which can be administered from the VMware vCenter console. FlashCopy Manager allows taking near instantaneous backups of VMware data stores by utilizing the FlashCopy functionality included with the IBM Storwize V7000™, IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller™, IBM XIV™ and IBM DS8000™...
The values of server virtualization are well understood today. Customers implement
server virtualization to increase server utilization, handle peak loads efficiently,
decrease total cost of ownership (TCO), and streamline server landscapes.
Similarly, storage virtualization helps to address the same challenges as server
virtualization. Storage virtualization also expands beyond the boundaries of physical
resources and helps to control how IT infrastructures adjust to rapidly changing
business demands. Storage virtualization benefits customers through improved
physical resource utilization and improved hardware efficiency, as well as reduced
power and cooling expenses. In addition, consolidation of resources obtained
through virtualization offers measurable returns on investment for today’s
businesses. Finally, virtualization serves as one of the key enablers of cloud
solutions, which are designed to deliver services economically and on demand.
This technical paper discusses the deployment of a VMware environment and best practices in using IBM Scale Out Network Attached Storage (SONAS) for its primary storage. To know more about the Network Attached Storage, visit http://ibm.co/SH8WJo.
Managing a virtualized infrastructure that runs continuously inevitably requires some degree of maintenance from IT staff. Any time that can be saved when performing routine maintenance tasks through system automation and capable management features frees IT staff to concentrate on ways to help your business grow. In the scenarios we tested, using the VMware solution had the potential to reduce administrative labor costs by as much as 91 percent compared to using similar offerings from Microsoft.
When we added the expected operational efficiency cost savings to the hardware acquisition estimates provided by the VMware Cost-Per-Application Calculator, we found that the VMware solution could provide a lower total cost of ownership over two years compared to the Microsoft solution.

VMware integration is one of the hottest topics in the storage market. The goal is to better utilize the storage, whether consolidating servers, expediting provisioning or optimizing resources. Storage continues to be the sticking point when it comes to provisioning capacity for a new virtualized application, integrating backup and recovery, or scaling capacity as well as performance. Choosing the right storage behind the virtualization infrastructure is paramount.
This paper details 9 key areas that the storage buyer needs to be aware of in order to have a performant and efficient virtualized infrastructure.

Introduction to the EMC XtremIO All-Flash ArrayEMC
This white paper introduces the EMC XtremIO's storage array and provides detailed descriptions of the system architecture, theory of operation, and its features.
In a mixed-application workload running in a cost-conscious environment, such as our chargeback scenario, IT organizations must be able to meet performance SLAs and consolidate applications. Database VMs need plenty of storage capacity and performance to handle the increased workload demands users place on them. Measures such as purchasing new arrays to meet these demands can be costly.
Thanks to its data reduction technologies, the EMC XtremIO storage array 4.0 saved storage space while supporting additional development-level database VMs in a VMware vSphere 6.0 environment. XtremIO substantially saved capacity by leveraging inline compression, inline deduplication, and virtual copies. The addressable capacity in our largest test run was 7,213 GB but took only 1,565 GB of physical space on the all-flash array. At our most I/O-intensive and largest-scale performance level, our 13 workloads generated 207,927 IOPS at an average latency of .9 milliseconds. Although we focused on increasing IOPS, latency remained under one millisecond in all of our mixed-application workload tests.
Based on our findings, scaling workloads, saving storage capacity, and delivering speedy all-flash performance can improve the value of the array. In the small capacity footprint at the 13-database level, the cost per addressable GB shrunk by 73 percent. Had our tests been larger and used more XtremIO capacity, we could have potentially found greater reduction in terms of price per GB. We also calculated the cost per IOPS and saw a 43 percent reduction at the 13-database level from baseline.

If you’re using SAN in your Power Systems environment without taking advantage of FlashCopy, we have one question for you: Why not?
FlashCopy takes a quick snapshot of your data at a particular point in time, then POOF! Your data is available for backup or use on another partition for high availability, disaster recovery, or even to create a test environment for your developers.
Join IBM i expert Chuck Stupca, IBM emeritus, as he explains how FlashCopy works and how best to take advantage of its unique features. We’ll also discuss ways that it helps you build a better backup strategy for your IBM i environment:
• Making a backup copy of production for tape-based saves
• Providing test environments from your production data in seconds
• Comparing FlashCopy to a save-while-active backup
