IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide
Figure 1-15   IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node
The IBM Storwize V7000 product is described in detail in the Implementing the IBM Storwize 
V7000 V6.3
, SG24-7938.
For more information about the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node see Chapter 2, 
“Introduction to IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node” on page 39

1.6.1  IBM Storwize V7000 and IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node
IBM Storwize V7000 and IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node are virtualized storage 
systems designed to complement virtualized server environments. They provide unmatched 
performance, availability, advanced functions and highly scalable capacity. IBM Storwize 
V7000 and IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node are powerful disk systems that have been 
designed to be easy to use and enable rapid deployment without additional resources. IBM 
Storwize V7000 and IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node supports block workloads 
whereas Storwize V7000 Unified (not covered in this book) consolidates block and file 
workloads into a single storage system for simplicity of management and reduced cost. IBM 
Storwize V7000 and IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node supports IBM Real-time 
Compression™ for extraordinary efficiency, enabling storage of up to five times as much 
active data in the same physical disk space

IBM Storwize V7000 and IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node offer greater efficiency and 
flexibility through built-in solid state drive (SSD) optimization and thin provisioning 
technologies. IBM Storwize V7000 and IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node advanced 
functions also enable non-disruptive migration of data from existing storage, simplifying 
implementation and minimizing disruption to users. Finally, these systems also enable you to 
virtualize and reuse existing disk systems, supporting a greater potential return on investment 
(ROI).
IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node is designed to integrate into the IBM PureFlex System 
or IBM Flex System to enable extremely rapid storage deployment and breakthrough 
management simplicity. This new class of storage system combines no compromise design 
along with virtualization, efficiency, and performance capabilities of IBM Storwize V7000. It 
helps simplify and speed PureFlex System and IBM Flex System infrastructure deployment 
with superior server and storage management integration to automate and streamline
