The IBM Storage – Moving at the speed of your business
A Smarter Solution for a Smarter Planet

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
and cloud
• Building on open architectures supporting industry standards including
OpenStack and Hadoop
IBM Spectrum Products
are IBM’s family of
Storage Management
and Optimization
Software solutions that
help accelerate,
optimize, virtualize and
streamline your storage
environment

The Smarter Software Storage Approach
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.
IBM Spectrum Protect
IBM Spectrum Control
IBM Spectrum Archive IBM Spectrum Virtualize
IBM Spectrum Scale
IBM Spectrum Accelerate
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!

Now compressing on almost all platforms regardless of vendor!

 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%!

Spectrum Control and Storage Insights
IBM Spectrum Control data management and storage
management solutions provide comprehensive
monitoring, automation and analytics. They address the
two most significant storage costs: physical capacity and
storage administration. You can get important insights
into cloud, virtualized and software defined storage
environments.
IBM data management and storage management
solutions can help to:
•Identify and categorize storage assets for file, block and
object data
•Generate departmental and application views of storage
•Optimize data placement within the infrastructure
•Identify unused and wasted storage space

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
