The IBM XIV system is fully virtualised, freeing the user from planning how logical volumes are spread over physical disks. The system assigns physical resources automatically, ensuring optimal resource utilisation. The IBM XIV system transparently handles: Allocating of new volumes: when a new volume is allocated, space for the volume is distributed evenly on all disks, and throughout all modules within the XIV, without any user intervention. Resizing of volumes: resizing a volume is possible at any time, without limitation. Adding of more capacity: when new capacity is added to the XIV system, the proportional part of the existing data is migrated to the new capacity.
This virtualisation within the IBM XIV system provides optimal performance, while freeing the storage administrator from planning the layout of volumes over disks and modules and monitoring performance levels and migrating volumes between modules.
The net result is a system that remains perfectly balanced throughout changes in capacity, configuration, or application behaviour – and with no management overhead – call our XIV technical team on 0844 800 7821 to request a live demonstration.
