1.7.2 IBM Storwize V7000

IBM Storwize V7000 is an innovative storage offering that delivers essential storage efficiency
technologies and exceptional ease of use and performance, all integrated into a compact,
modular design. IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node architecture is the same as that of the
IBM Storwize V7000 and is managed from the IBM Flex System Chassis Management
Module or IBM Flex System Manager node. IBM Storwize V7000 is considered external
storage from a IBM PureFlex System perspective.
There are four levels of integration of Storwize V7000 with IBM Flex System as shown in
Table 1-3.
