IBM V7000 2076 Storwize Storage Systems

IBM Storwize V7000 SAN models includes three generations of enterprise class file and block storage systems, which have slightly different IOPS, latency and bandwidth performance depending on the model, and later models have more features and software options. IBM V7000  Storwize Storage Systems deliver virtualization and tiering for both internal and external storage pools and capable of micro second response times for mission critical applications. Below are the IBM V7000 Storwize models by technical specification and performance summary. The latest IBM V7000 model is always available in new condition and often in refurbished condition as well. IBM V7000 used condition only models include 2076-624 2076-524 2076-324 2076-324 2076-312 2076-124 and 2076-112 models.

The IBM Storwize V7000 delivers software defined storage capabilities adopted from mainframe storage technologies used to managed internal and external tiered storage systems. Some of the V7000 storage system features and software capabilities are:

Graphical user interface (GUI) and Command line interface
Thin Provisioning (Space Efficient Volumes)
Resizable Volumes
RAID levels 0,1,5,6,10
Distributed RAID (DRAID), i.e. DRAID-5 and DRAID-6
FlashCopy, a.k.a. Snapshots providing several combinations of these attributes: multiple, incremental, independent, space-efficient, immediately writable, or cascaded
Data Migration: data can be moved between all virtualized storage (both internal and external) with no disruption
Performance Management using throttling of bandwidth and transactions either by host or by volume
supports interactive and non-interactive ssh-login
supports several ways of call home and notifications (e-mail, syslog, SNMP, VPN-to-IBM, gui-based)
security functions, e.g. audit log, encrypted access
Automated tiered storage known as EasyTier, which supports hot spot removal within a tier (intra-tier) and between tiers (inter-tier)
Encryption for data at rest via self-encrypting drives (SED)
Peer to Peer Remote Copy
Metro Mirror (synchronous copy)
Global Mirror (asynchronous copy)
Global Mirror with Change Volumes (check pointed asynchronous copy using flashcopies for low bandwidth)
External Storage Virtualization
Virtual Disk Mirroring
Real-time Compression
Data Reduction Pools with Deduplication and Real-time Compression
Clustering, i.e. single user interface for several (up to 8) controllers, while supporting volume moves between them without disruption
Stretched cluster configuration (SVC only), optional "enhanced" version with site awareness (hardware redundancy only across sites)
Hyperswap (automated storage failover using the standard multipathing drivers; hardware redundancy on either site is given)
File level storage (NAS)
Policy based file placement Active Cloud Engine
Global Namespace
Async replication on File level
