IBM Storwize V7000 and Storwize V7000 Unified Disk Systems
IBM Storwize V7000 and Storwize V7000 Unified are virtualized storage systems designed to
consolidate workloads into a single storage system for simplicity of management, reduced
cost, highly scalable capacity, performance and high availability. They offer improved
efficiency and flexibility through built-in solid-state drive (SSD) optimization, thin provisioning
and nondisruptive migration of data from existing storage. They can also virtualize and reuse
existing disk systems offering a greater potential return on investment. Storwize V7000 and
V7000 Unified now supports integrated IBM Real-time Compression™, enabling storage of
up to five times as much active primary data in the same physical space for extraordinary
levels of efficiency.
The IBM Flex System™ V7000 Storage Node is also available as an integrated component of
IBM Flex System and IBM PureFlex™ Systems and has been seamlessly integrated into the
Flex System Manager and Chassis Map, delivering new data center efficiencies. For more
