  3. Expanding the Storwize Family • same CLI • same user interface • one set of functions (selectively licensed) • onecodebase on all platforms

  4. IBM Introduced a New Era in Midrange Disk Systems • IBM Storwize V7000 announced October 7, 2010 • Very well-received by customers, business partners and reviewers • Tremendous positive reception around the world • Presence in every major country and industry • Over13.200systems sold world-wide since Nov 2010 GA (Sep 2012) There have been numerous attempts at repackaging high-end enterprise products for a wider audience, but few get it right. One exception, however, could be IBM’s new Storwize V7000, which mixes enterprise-class storage virtualization with custom hardware and an intuitive management interface to create a highly scalable, yet easy-to-deploy, mid-range storage solution.

  7. What is Storwize V3700 ? • Storwize V3700 is an entry level storage controller • 1Gb/s iSCSI host attachment • Optional: 10Gb/s iSCSI, 8Gb FC, FCoE • Internal virtualization gives access to advanced functions • thin provisioned volumes, flash copy, mirroring • SAS network for expansion (up to 4 expansion enclosures) • Internal drives • SSD, 15K SAS, 10K SAS and NL SAS • supports up to 120 x 2.5”, 60 x 3.5” • Customer installable and maintainable

  8. Controller Enclosure – Rear • Looks identical on type 12C and 24C • Rear of the Enclosure: • There are two power supply slots along the bottom of the unit, each taking up half of 1U. The left hand slot is power supply 1, the right hand slot is power supply 2. The power supplies are inserted the same way up (unlike V7000). • There are two canister slots along the top of the unit, again taking up half of 1U The left slot is canister 1, the right slot is canister 2. The canisters are inserted the same way up (unlike V7000) • Fans are contained within the PSU, replacement requires a new PSU • Fan speed is variable and under system control • Fans continue to operate in a PSU which has failed or lost AC power

  9. Node Canister • Four 6 Gb/s SAS ports • currently only port 4 is used (foradditional enclosure connections) • Two USB 2.0 ports • one port used during install • Two 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet ports • Usage of port 1 is required, port 2 is optional • Optional Host Interface Cards

  10. Node Canister Host Interface Card (HIC) • Intel Sandy Bridge architecture • Dual core Celeron G530T • CPU runs in energy saving Green Mode • 4GB memory per node canister ( 8GB total ) • optional upgrade to 8GB per node canister ( 16GB total ) • Battery Backup Unit (BBU) inside node • Option to install Host Interface Card (HIC) CPU Memory Battery

  11. SAS Network • Unlike V7000, V3700 node canister only has 1 SAS chain • V3700 supports up to four expansion enclosures • Node canisters use SAS port 4 for expansion connection • only V3700 expansion enclosures are supported(no V7000)

  12. Supported Drives Only V3700 drives can be used in V3700Drive types can be mixed within an enclosure

  13. Comparing Storwize V3700 and DS3500

  14. Summary ofStorwize V3700 system Easy to manage and efficient entry storage system designed to address growing data requirements and server consolidation needs • Easy-to-use, embeddedgraphical user interface • Thin provisioning capabilities: allocate the exact amount o space needed at the time it is required • Non-disruptive migration from existing FC storage helps speed implementation and minimize disruption • Sophisticateddata protection with FlashCopy technology • Multi-protocol support (iSCSI, FC and FCoE and SAS1), provides consolidation flexibility • Full interoperability: extensive suite of Microsoft and VMware solutions supported 1 Statement of Direction.
