Page 31: Estimating Compression Savings
These compression values can be used to determine which volumes have achieved the highest compression savings. See the IBM XIV Storage System Management Tools User Guide for more information on monitoring and using compression. -
Page 32: General Compression Saving Guidelines
Compressed file formats: – File types such as .zip, .gzip, .rar, .cab, and .tgz. IBM Real-time Compression is best suited for data that has an estimated compression savings of 25% or higher. There are various configuration items that affect the performance of compression on the system. Different data types have different compression ratios, and it is important to determine the compressible data currently on your system. -

0814 15 module initial capacity 0815 The IBM XIV Storage System requires a corresponding software license for each entitled data or interface module. Partially populated configurations have the same power, floor planning, hardware, software, and cabling configurations as fully populated systems. In other words, partially populated racks are identical to fully populated rack, except that they have fewer modules and therefore less storage capacity. - Page 37 Figure 2. Example of a fully-populated XIV system model 281x-114, model 281x-214, or model 281x-314 Note: The modem is no longer supported as part of the rack configuration for Indonesia and Brazil.
