Compression is designed to improve efficiency by storing up to five times as much active
primary data in the same physical disk space. By significantly reducing storage
requirements, you can keep up to five times more information online, use the improved
efficiency to reduce storage costs, or achieve a combination of greater capacity and
reduced cost.

Data Protection features
The following Data Protection features are supported with With IBM Storwize V7000 and IBM
Flex System V7000 Storage Node:
Flex System V7000 Storage Node:
Volume Mirroring that allow a volume to remain online even when the storage pool backing
it becomes inaccessible. The mirror copy is local to the system.

Metro Mirror is a type of Remote Copy that creates a synchronous copy of data from a
master volume to an auxiliary volume. The mirror copy is placed on a remote system and
is an exact copy of the primary volume.

is an exact copy of the primary volume.
Global Mirror provides an asynchronous copy, which means that the secondary volume is
not an exact match of the primary volume at every point in time. The Global Mirror function
provides the same function as Metro Mirror Remote Copy without requiring the hosts to
wait for the full round-trip delay of the long-distance link. Like Metro Mirror the mirror copy
is placed on a remote system.

FlashCopy and snapshot functions create instant copies of data to minimize data loss.
Mirroring limitations: Global (long distance of greater than 300 Km) mirroring is only
supported over an FC SAN infrastructure. Local Mirroring (less than 300 Km) is
supported over either an FC or FCoE SAN infrastructure. Mirroring over iSCSI fabric is
not supported at this time. Consult System Storage Interoperability Center for
supported configurations.
