IBM TotalStorage Open Software Family  
SAN Virtualization  
Create a tiered storage environment and increase the flexibility within your storage infrastructure by introducing solutions based on IBM TotalStorage virtualization software. Offerings include the IBM TotalStorage SAN File System, the IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller and the IBM TotalStorage SAN  
Volume Controller for Cisco MDS 9000.  
Product  
IBM TotalStorage SAN File  
System (SFS)  
Function and Value  
Highlights  
SAN File System is designed to virtualize and consolidate file systems  
across Windows, UNIX, and Linux servers and provide a common pool of  
storage that can be shared across servers. It supports multiple tiers of  
storage and provides policy based allocation of space at a file level and  
policy based migration of files between storage pools.  
Simplify data management: SFS provides policy-based data management that can help improve file and database management as well as administrator productivity.  
Improve data access: SFS is designed to enable secure data sharing between Windows, UNIX, and Linux servers with ease and efficiency, resulting in reduced storage costs and optimized  
storage resources.  
Flexible, on demand operating environment: SFS enables customers to maintain flexibility in their IT environments by virtualizing the relationship between applications and their data.  
This provides the flexibility to take advantage of technology as it advances, rather than being locked into one specific vendor. Contributes to automation, integration, and support for open  
standards.  
Reduce storage needs: SFS is designed to provide a common pool of file space that can be accessed and used by any server on the SAN File System. SFS supports multiple tiers of  
storage allowing customers to match the type of storage being used to the business value of the data.  
Improve application availability: SFS enables you to move, add, or change the file system capacity without requiring application outages. It also provides a file-based FlashCopy function  
that can reduce maintenance windows used for taking backups.  
IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume  
Controller (SVC)  
Based on Virtualization technology, the IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume  
Controller is designed to manage all disk storage as a single resource  
from a single point to simplify the operation of the environment. It is  
designed to allow a tiered storage environment to be deployed better than  
relying on physical disk arrays alone.  
Manage storage volumes from a central point: The SVC is designed to enhance the flexibility of your storage environment. It can combine the storage capacity from multiple disk arrays  
from different suppliers into a single pool of storage which can be managed from a central point.  
Create a tiered storage environment: Utilizing virtualization technology, the SVC enables customers to match the cost of the storage to the value of their data. Mission-critical data can be  
stored on high-performance, highly available Fibre-Channel disks while non-mission-critical data can be stored on serial-ATA disks.  
Virtually eliminate downtime related to storage: The SVC enables data migrations, storage software upgrades and changes to the physical storage without impacting host applications.  
Improve storage resource utilization: By combining the storage capacity from multiple disk arrays into a single pool, SVC uses existing storage capacity more efficiently, which can defer  
additional storage purchases to save costs.  
A single, cost-effective set of advanced copy services: The SVC can apply copy services across all the managed storage, regardless of the disk array supplier. This capability helps  
simplify the environment, reduce the costs of implementing disaster recovery solutions and increases the productivity of the personnel.  
IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume  
Controller for Cisco MDS 9000  
Solution  
IBM and Cisco combine the SAN Volume Controller storage software with  
the Caching Services Module from the Cisco MDS 9000 Family of  
switches and directors to deliver the benefits of the SAN Volume Controller  
in a switch-based implementation, aiding with both data integration and  
consolidation of the storage network.  
Manage storage volumes from a central point: The SVC storage software can combine the storage capacity from multiple disk arrays from different suppliers into a single pool of storage  
which can be managed from a central point in the Cisco switched-fabric environment.  
Create a tiered storage environment: Utilizing virtualization technology, the SVC for Cisco MDS 9000 solution enables customers to match the cost of the storage to the value of their data.  
Mission-critical data can be stored on high-performance, highly available Fibre-Channel disks while non-mission-critical data can be stored on serial-ATA disks.  
Virtually eliminate downtime related to storage: The SVC storage software enables data migrations, storage software upgrades and changes to the physical storage without impacting  
host applications.  
Improve storage resource utilization: By combining the storage capacity from multiple disk arrays into a single pool, the SVC storage software uses existing storage capacity more effi-  
ciently, which can defer additional storage purchases to save costs. And integrating the software into a Cisco switched fabric saves costs even more by reducing the space requirements  
within the data center.  
A single, cost-effective set of advanced copy services: The SVC storage software can apply copy services across all the managed storage, regardless of the disk array supplier. This  
helps simplify the environment, reduce the costs of implementing disaster recovery solutions and increases the productivity of the personnel.
