capacity disks store cold data. As a result, SmartTier optimizes overall performance and
reduces costs per IOPS.
SmartQoS (intelligent service quality control)
Enables a storage system to categorize service data based on data characteristics (each
category represents a type of application) and set a priority and performance objective
for each category. In this way, resources are assigned to services based on priorities,
ensuring the performance of mission-critical services that have the top priority.
SmartThin (intelligent thin provisioning)
Allows on-demand allocation of storage space rather than the traditional method of pre-
allocating all storage space at the initial stage. It is more efficient because the amount of
resources used is close to the amount of resources allocated. In this way, the initial
purchase cost and total cost of ownership are reduced.
SmartCache (intelligent storage cache)
Uses SSDs as cache resources to significantly promote system read performance when
random, small I/Os with hot data require more read operations than write operations.
Quick document incremental backup with Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM)
When the storage system interworks with the TSM backup software to perform
incremental file backup, the Snapdiff feature uses the snapshot mechanism to quickly
obtain differential file information and identify changed files. Without the need for full
scanning, only changed files are backed, greatly shortening backup time. The backup
performance is not affected by the number of files, which greatly improves the backup
efficiency.
Cost-effectiveness
– Intelligent CPU frequency control
Automatically changes the CPU frequency based on the system loads. It decreases
the CPU frequency and power consumption during off-peak hours for a low
operation cost and long CPU service life.
– Delicate fan speed control
Dynamically adjusts the fan speed based on the storage system's temperature. It
lowers the noise and power consumption and cuts the operation cost.
– Deduplication and compression
Checks and processes duplicate data in disks based on deduplication, and minimizes
space occupied by data based on compression to improve disk utilization.
Ease-of-use
– DeviceManager
A tool based on the graphical user interface (GUI) allows you to easily manage
storage systems through wizard-instructed operations.
– Storage resource configuration tool: SmartConfig
Installed on application servers, SmartConfig is a piece of software providing easy
management of storage systems. With this tool, only three steps are needed to
