The Smarter Software Storage Approach
IBM Cloud Optimized Storage Solutions

New era cloud environments and applications such as analytics, mobile and
social are driving huge growth in data volumes, making data the new
natural resource. But cost-effectively optimizing your current storage
environments while at the same time exploiting new opportunities is
straining storage budgets. The solution — IBM Spectrum Storage

• Simplifying and integrating storage management and data protection
across traditional and new applications
• Delivering elastic scalability with high performance for analytics, big data,
social and mobile
• Unifying silos to deliver data without borders with built-in hybrid cloud
support
• Optimizing data economics with intelligent data tiering from Flash to tape

Software solutions that
help accelerate,
optimize, virtualize and
streamline your storage
environment

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!

How RTC works with SVC/Storwize
13
 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%!

What’s new
• IBM XIV delivers dramatic cost savings using inline
IBM Real-time Compression and without need for
extra hardware
• Brings IBM Random Access Compression Engine
(RACE) technology to XIV grid architecture to scale
performance and simplify compression
management
• Increases usable capacity per rack typically to one
petabyte or more with RTC, 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

How RTC works with XIV
18
• RACE is embedded into the
compute services
• Becomes an organic part of the XIV
software stack
• Seamlessly integrates with existing
system management design
• Indicates how much
uncompressed data has been
written to the volume
• All of XIV advanced functions are
supported on compressed volumes
working on compressed data
• Provides non-disruptive conversion
between compressed and
uncompressed volumes

What value does Enterprise Class Support provide?
During the Enterprise Class Support (ECS) warranty period, customers will receive:
1. Priority access: Hate waiting in line? Let your customers jump to the front with
direct access to a team of skilled resources that will serve as the initial point of
contact for any issues that arise.
2. Priority response: Help customers get to the root of issues faster - our 24/7 team
will work to call customers within as little as 30 minutes of receiving the issue
notification.
3. Software updates: Customers have enough on their plates; let us take care of
software updates for them. IBM will coordinate with customers and complete
software updates for them.
4. Services coordination: One of the biggest uncertainties in a datacenter's
performance and stability is actually the people who run it. IBM offers technical
experts to customers at every turn. From a Service & Support Representative to
install systems, to an assigned Technical Advisor to plan software updates through
the warranty period, IBM won't leave our customers hanging.

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
Continued assistance from one specialist can
resolve high-severity problems more quickly
• Enhance efficiency
Work with IBM to promote staff productivity
through support protocols and critical-
problem management techniques
• Avert problems
Your consultant can offer
time-tested methods to
help you prevent outages
and use IBM support more
effectively
