DS4000 and DS5000 Business Value in a VMware Infrastructure With IBM System Storage DS4000, you can solve the business challenge of achieving more VMware benefits because you’ll have the right storage solution working for you. The benefits of a DS4000/DS5000 shared storage foundation for VMware are real and significant, as summarized below. • Achieve Greater Optimization of Your VMware Infrastructure. Ability to lower overall costs of your VMware storage foundation by (1) consolidating storage through a SAN infrastructure, (2) enabling a “pay as you grow” storage upgrade strategy, (3) leveraging server virtualization with virtual storage systems, and (4) simplifying storage management. Minimize the number of disk storage systems required even as your VMware capacity and performance needs increase—thus cutting storage acquisition costs and recurring costs for maintenance, floor space, power and cooling. And with DS5000 4 Gb technology, you also have investment protection. Increase the storage performance of your VMware Infrastructure with the modular storage benchmark leader. The DS5000 was designed for continuous scalability of both throughput and I/O performance up to the maximum configuration of 224 drives. Tailor storage characteristics to application requirements by implementing tiered storage and storage classes in disk storage systems as well as the SAN. Maximize your storage price/ performance while lowering your total cost of storage ownership. • Leverage Your Business Information. Improve accessibility to your valuable business data with a DS4000/DS5000 SAN infrastructure that features extensive interoperability, is specifically certified for a VMware Infrastructure, and allows any Virtual Machine to access any virtual storage system and any logical disk if authorized. Simplify data management with tiered storage that enhances data protection and recovery and supports popular data management software (including IBM TSM). • Reduce IT Risk. Help increase the availability and corresponding service levels of applications that run on Virtual Machines with DS4000 and DS5000 Dynamic Capacity Expansion, Dynamic RAID Level Migration and Dynamic Segment Size Migration. Contribute to the availability of your VMware Infrastructure storage foundation. • Enable Business Flexibility. Expand the agility of your VMware Infrastructure with (1) storage partitioning that simplifies Virtual Machine configuration and migration, (2) nondisruptive storage upgrades that permit reuse of common parts and keep data intact, and (3) the ability to scale I/O performance without encountering storage controller bottlenecks. Increase the resilience of your VMware Infrastructure with advanced, high availability storage features and dynamic expansion capabilities.
