IBM Storwize V7000 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 Storwize V7000 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. Please use "Request Quote" for configuration and pricing requests.
IBM V7000 3rd Generation 2076-724: 32 PB max raw storage via 760 SAN modules (3,040 via 4-way clustering), up to 1,200,000 IOPS (4,800,000 IOPS clustered), up to 19.6 GB/s max bandwidth (78 GB/s clustered), FIPS 140-2 Compliant FlashCores and128 GiB Cache (per I/O group) with optional 256 GiB or 1.15 TiB per I/O group (node pair). Ability to cluster with older Storwize V7000 storage systems and IBM FlashSystems.
IBM V7000 2nd Generation 2076-624 and 2076-524: 4 PB max raw storage via 760 SAN modules (3,040 via 4-way clustering), up to 1,200,000 IOPS (4,800,000 IOPS clustered), up to 12 GB/s max bandwidth (48 GB/s clustered) and 128 GiB Cache (per I/O group), with optional 256 GiB per I/O group (node pair) for Generation 2+ (7026-624) OR 128 GiB cache per 2U enclosure for Generation 2 (7026-524).
IBM V7000 1st Generation 2076-324, 2076-324, 2076-312, 2076-124 and 2076-112: 1.92 PB max raw storage via 240 SAN modules (960 via 4-way clustering), up to 870,000 IOPS (3,400,000 IOPS clustered), up to 6 GB/s max bandwidth and up to 64 GiB cache per I/O group or 128 GiB per I/O group node pair.
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
