Only 1 in 5 businesses can allocate
business processes to improve business agility? more than half their IT budget to
innovation

Escalating IT complexity

How to manage IT costs and complexity while
23% of worldwide IT projects are
speeding time-to-market for new services? both over budget and behind
schedule

Tiering data to the application server can boost performance

Coming • Easy Tier moves the hottest data closer Solid-State

to server and overcomes latency of the
SAN

• Both server and storage resources
remain optimized for performance and
cost objectives

• Advanced self-tuning reduces
administration costs further and allows IT
staff to focus on strategic initiatives

Smarter Storage Lowers Complexity and Cost


Efficient By Design in Action

IHK-Gfl IBM Office of the CIO
“Our ERP system database access “Automated ‘right tiering’ reduced our users’
times improved 10x, from 20ms cost of storage by 50%”
to under 2 ms, with IBM Easy Tier
flash optimization”
Mike Silvia, IBM Director, IT Architecture,
Dr. Andreas Himmelreich, CEO Application, and Infrastructure Services


Analyst Opinions of Easy Tier

• "IBM's rock solid high-end DS8000 system will no doubt keep its existing clients
• “IBM continues to show its commitment to the high-end storage needs of
happy; yet it should also capture the attention of users who are looking to
enterprises by making the DS8000 product line into a more complete
manage a diverse set of workloads not only easily and effectively, but also with enterprise solution. IBM recognizes that enterprises need storage that is
an impressive feature set of advanced optimization and automation more than just highly performant, protected and policy driven; they also
capabilities." need storage that is well integrated and pretested as a critical component of
– Mark Peters, Senior Analyst, ESG
common enterprise applications and solutions. With its latest
enhancements, the DS8000 delivers more broadly defined qualities of
service.”
– Mike Kahn, Managing Director, The Clipper Group, Inc.

• "The new Easy Tier intra-tier data rebalancing, combined with enhanced I/O
Priority Manager QoS feature, makes the DS8000 more attractive for clients
looking to consolidate more workloads on a single system." (1)
– Benjamin S. Woo, Program Vice President, Worldwide Storage Systems Research, IDC

• “IBM Easy Tier's "turn it on and it runs" approach is what clients continue to
expect and enjoy with the DS8000, which contrasts starkly with other
solutions that offer the equivalent of set of components for users to
manually build their own automated tiering facility.”
• "Easy Tier on IBM's flagship DS8000 disk system looks to be the most intelligent – David Hill, Mesabi Group
and most automated block tiering solution on the market"
– Arun Taneja, Founder, President and Consulting Analyst, The Taneja Group

IBM Cloud Agile storage simplifies cloud adoption
Increase Information Access and Improve ROI

Virtualize your Storage Deployments
• Storage adapts easily to unpredictable workloads
• Data is available anywhere, anytime

Automate Cloud Management
• Simple, fast, self-service provisioning
• Policy based data management,
data moves to users automatically

Enable Robust Cloud Expansion
• Administrators manage far more capacity
• Leverage existing storage systems

Server Hypervisor -What does virtualization help you achieve

1. Resources are consolidated & virtualized – pooled together and accessed anywhere.- Virtual
machines – better utilization
(as opposed to physical array-boundary limitations)
2. Services are standardized & Data Mobility – selected from a service catalog.
(as opposed to customized configuration)- Vmotion
3. Provisioning is self-service – administrators use automation to allocate capacity from the
catalog.
(as opposed to manual component-level provisioning)
4. Usage is paid per use – end users are aware of the impact of their consumption and service
level choices.
(as opposed to paid from a central IT budget)

HOW ABOUT A HYPERVISOR FOR YOUR STORAGE
