• Redundant hardware, including power supplies and fans

• Hot-swappable and customer replaceable components

• Automated path failover support for the data path between the server and the

drives

• HyperSwap on V5030E only

Rich set of functional capabilities standard with every system

As a member of the Storwize family, Storwize V5000E leverages IBM Spectrum

Virtualize Software functions and management tools. The following functions are

included with Storwize V5000E models:

• RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 with RAID levels 5 and 6 as distributed RAID:

Provides the flexibility to choose the level of data protection required.

• Virtualization of internal storage: Enables rapid, flexible provisioning and

simple configuration changes.

• Thin provisioning: Optimizes efficiency by allocating disk storage space in a

flexible manner among multiple users, based on the minimum space required by

each user at any given time. With thin provisioning, applications consume only

the space they are actually using, not the total space that has been allocated to

them.

• Data reduction pools: Increases existing infrastructure capacity utilization by

leveraging new efficiency functions:

– Automatically de-allocate and reclaim capacity of thin-provisioned volumes

containing deleted data and, for the first time, enable this reclaimed capacity

to be reused by other volumes.

– Block deduplication for increased efficiency of storage usage by utilizing

pointers in duplicate blocks rather than keeping multiple copies (Storwize

V5030E only).

– Compression improves efficiency by storing more active primary data in the

same physical disk space (Storwize V5030E only).

• Dynamic migration delivers efficiency and business value through a nondisruptive

migration function.

• FlashCopy enables you to create copies of data for backup, parallel processing,

testing, and development, and have the copies available almost immediately.

Storwize V5000E supports up to 64 FlashCopy targets per system.

• HyperSwap delivers high-availability configurations for resilient virtualized

environments (Storwize V5030E only).

• Graphical user interface delivers intuitive data management designed with point-

and-click system management capabilities.

Optional licensed functions and 90-day trial period

Storwize V5000E capabilities can be expanded with the following optional licensed

functions. Each function is licensed to a Storwize V5000E control enclosure and

covers the entire Storwize V5000E system (control enclosure and all attached

expansion enclosures).

To help evaluate the benefits of these new capabilities, licensed functions (with the

exception of FlashCopy upgrade) can be enabled at no charge for a 90-day trial

period. Trials are initiated from the Storwize management GUI and do not require

any IBM intervention. Upon expiration of the trial, the function will be automatically

disabled unless a license key for that function has been installed onto the machine.

• FlashCopy upgrade: FlashCopy enables the creation of copies of data for

backup, parallel processing, testing, and development, and have the copies

available almost immediately. All Storwize V5000E systems support up to 64

targets per system at no charge. The FlashCopy upgrade option increases this

support to 2,040 FlashCopy targets per system.

• Easy Tier: Storage tiering helps optimize storage use with data location to

improve system performance, reduce costs, and simplify management. Easy

Tier automatically and dynamically moves frequently accessed data to flash
