Introducing IBM Spectrum Connect
22
23. IBM Systems Technical University © 2018 IBM Corporation
Why use IBM Spectrum Connect?
23
Provides a common point of integration, control and
automation, with a consistent experience, for IBM block
storage in multi-cloud environments. For virtualized storage:
over 400 supported storage systems from IBM and others
Supports a storage provisioning policy that enables easy-to
define storage classes such as by SLA or workload, for easy
self service and automation
Integrates tightly with VMware, Kubernetes container
orchestrator for Docker, and Microsoft PowerShell
environments
Is available at no extra charge with IBM block storage
devices
IBM Spectrum Connect drives the API dialog through one
common UI to many storage systems and cloud platforms
24. IBM Systems Technical University © 2018 IBM Corporation
Simplify and automate complex replication tasks
– Automated replication configuration scales up to thousands
of pairs of disk volumes
– Preserves historic configuration information
• easy setup for repetitive configuration or re-configuration
– Operational control of replication environment via a highly
usable GUI rather than DSCLI scripts or TSO commands
• but provides also CLI, csmcli

Realize Cost-Savings through
Right-Tiering of Data Storage
28
Problem:
High-end disk arrays are expensive
Difficult to identify which data should be moved
Manually re-locating LUNs is time-consuming and
disruptive
29. IBM Systems Technical University © 2018 IBM Corporation
Introducing I/O Density – Performance measurement
29
• For each LUN, the amount of IOPS is divided by the
amount of resident data
• IOPS = I/O (read/write) per second
• IO Density = IOPS per Terabyte of data for a given volume
• What is I/O Density?
• I/O Density (IOPS/TB) provides a level-set view of
performance regardless of volume size allowing a uniform
unit of measurement for analysis
• IOPS and TB tend to grow at similar rates, keeping IO
Density constant for each application
• The I/O Density value is the peak value of the averages
taken for the hour or day, depending on the sampling
chosen (Daily, Hourly or Sample Average).
• Daily Average has thus far proven the most reliable
indicator of future re-tiering results
• Hourly Average useful for brief but intense high-demand
workloads
*
Note:
I/O Density can be
represented per TB
or per GB
700 IOPS/TB = 0.7 IOPS/GB
30. IBM Systems Technical University © 2018 IBM Corporation
Understand Your Data –

Intelligent Information Lifecycle Management
(IILM) - simulates savings by analyzing historical
data usage patterns in existing environment
Using IBM Spectrum Control or similar tools,
the IBM team can identify the volumes and TB
that will be analyzed over period of 30 days
– IOPS average will be based on calculations
using 96-288 samples taken for each
volume throughout a 24-hour period.
– Often, IBM team finds volumes of data that
were totally inactive during the analyzed
period. This is not unknown access, but
known zero access
Based on this performance data collected from
the storage environment, the analysis
determines the average Indicative Tier
Distribution for the volumes

IBM Global Account (IGA)
As part of a technology refresh, IBM internally
transformed its heavily Tier 1 environment to a
4-tier cost-effective infrastructure
– IGA realized $17 million in USD cost savings
in 2012, primarily through CAPEX avoidance
– IBM realized $90 million in savings over five
years
– “We were able to reduce a multi-day
complex process to a matter of 2-3
hours!”
— Kris Myers. Dir. Information Technology
IBM Global Account Division
IBM VSC managing the following tiers:
– Tier 1A = DS8000 w/ 15K RPM and SSD
– Tier 1B = XIV w/ 7200 RPM disk
– Tier 3 = V7000 w/ 2TB 7200 RPM
§Data that is most active remains on Tier 1,
while data with lower activity is moved down
to lower tiers, consuming less costly storage
capacity on Tier 3

This presentation uses the IBM Plex™ font
49
IBM Plex™ is our new typeface. It’s global, it’s versatile and it’s
distinctly IBM.
IBM Plex
Sans
The IBM company is freeing itself from the cold, modernist cliché
and replacing Helvetica with a new corporate typeface. Also
replaces Arial, Calibri, Lucida Grande, Trebuchet, etc.
IBM Plex
Mono
A little something for developers. Replaces
Courier New, Letter Gothic, Lucida Console, etc.
IBM Plex
Serif
A hybrid of the third kind (combining the best of Plex, Bodoni,
and Janson into a contemporary serif). Replaces Cambria,
Garamond, Lucida Bright, Times New Roman, etc.
IBM Plex is freely available as TrueType and OpenType at: https://github.com/IBM/plex/releases
