IBM XIV represents the next generation of high-end SAN (Storage Area Networks) systems. It is the industry’s first single-architecture storage system, providing the highest level of performance, reliability and features, along with management simplicity and exceptional TCO. No additional license costs for mirroring, snapshotting, thin provisioning – the XIV is Tier 1- Tier 2 all inclusive – in one footprint! The performance of the system is exceptional - each data module in the XIV Storage system has its own processing power providing the XIV system with dozens of powerful CPUs. The XIV system scales non-disruptively from partial to full rack configurations (27 TB to 79 TB usable), meeting growing capacity needs on-demand. Its unique architectural design scales throughput proportionally along with capacity, ensuring high performance and fast access even as data grows. The innovative data migration feature allows the migration of volumes from legacy IBM systems and other manufacturers storage, to the XIV system with practically no downtime, performing copying of the information while applications are in production. As you would expect – the IBM XIV provides Tier-1 level support for authentication, authorisation, and auditing – and enterprise-level user management. In essence – the IBM XIV Storage Systems provides high-end storage at dramatically lower costs, by tackling and lowering the impact of all cost factors: acquisition, environmentals, administration/management, downtime, and even backup and restore.
