Protecting data with replication services
IBM Storwize V7000 and IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node supports block data while
Storwize V7000 Unified supports both file and block data in the same system with replication
functions optimized for the specific needs of each type of data.

Integrated management
IBM Storwize V7000 and IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node provide a tiered approach to
management designed to meet the diverse needs of different organizations. The systems’
management interface is designed to give administrators intuitive control of these systems
and provides a single integrated approach for managing both block and file storage
requirements in the same system.

For organizations looking to manage both physical and virtual server infrastructures and the
storage they consume (including provisioning and monitoring for higher availability,
operational efficiency and infrastructure planning), IBM Storwize V7000, IBM Flex System
V7000 Storage Node are integrated with IBM Systems Director Storage Control and IBM Flex
System Manager™. A single administrator can manage and operate IBM servers, (IBM
System x, IBM Power Systems, IBM BladeCenter and IBM PureFlex System) along with
networking infrastructure and IBM storage from a single management screen.

High-performance SSD support
For applications that demand high disk speed and quick access to data, IBM provides support
for SSDs in 200 and 400 GB 2.5-inch E-MLC (enterprise-grade multilevel cell) capacity. For
ultra-high-performance requirements, IBM Storwize V7000 and IBM Flex System V7000
Storage Node may be configured with only SSDs for up to 96 TB of physical capacity in a
single system (384 TB in a clustered system), enabling scale-out high performance SSD
support.

External storage virtualization
External storage virtualization is the ability of IBM Storwize V7000 and IBM Flex System
V7000 Storage Node to manage capacity in other disk systems. When IBM Storwize V7000
and IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node virtualizes a disk system, its capacity becomes
part of the IBM Storwize V7000 and IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node systems and is
managed in the same way as capacity on internal drives. Capacity in external disk systems
inherits all the functional richness and ease-of-use of IBM Storwize V7000 and IBM Flex
System V7000 Storage Node including advanced replication, thin provisioning, Real-time
Compression and Easy Tier. Virtualizing external storage helps improve administrator
productivity and boost storage utilization while also enhancing and extending the value of an
existing storage asset.
