© 2010 IBM CorporationAnalyst reports“ IBM has now introduced Storwize V7000, specifically designed to meet the growing scalabilityrequirements of the mid-sized datacenter, including functionality features usually only foundonly in the largest enterprises.IBM’s range of storage solutions just got even better! ““IBM Storwize V7000 empowers the datacenter with enterprise-class software capabilities,integrated into the basic platform, many of which are included in the basic price of the platform.With a completely new GUI from XIV, replication and virtualization capabilities normally foundonly in higher-priced enterprise arrays, and management capabilities that simplify complextasks, IBM Storwize V7000 provides the IT staff with enterprise features at a mid-range price.”“One thing is for sure, if you are managing a mid-sized datacenter with a rapidly expandingdata store, and a not-so-rapidly expanding budget and administrative staff, you need to look atIBM’s Storwize V7000, as one sure way to put a stop to a rising TCO.”Full document link

© 2010 IBM CorporationAnalyst reports“Solid state drives (SSDs) are a hot topic of interest in IT organizations because of theirpotential to turbocharge storage performance.One inhibitor to adoption has been the high cost of SSDs relative to hard disk drives (HDDs)and a second has been the problem of when and how to use SSDs efficiently and effectively.IBM Storwize V7000 users now have the tools in Easy Tier and its associated software toolStorage Tier Advisor to evaluate the benefits of, plan for, deploy, and manage on an ongoingbasis SSDs in combination with existing HDDs. It’s not for nothing that IBM calls its productEasy Tier.”Full document link
