What’s new• IBM XIV delivers dramatic cost savings using field-

proven, inline IBM Real-time Compression and without need for extra hardware:

• Brings IBM Random Access Compression Engine (RACE) technology to the system software and leverages the XIV grid architecture to scale performance and simplify compression management

• Increases usable capacity per rack typically to one petabyte or more with Real-time Compression, greatly reducing effective cost per capacity

• Replicates compressed data faster and using less bandwidth, freeing up bandwidth for other uses

• Continuously displays predicted or actual compression ratios for all volumes

• Converts non-compressed volumes to compressed non-disruptively

• Enables license acquisition on new XIV systems and by software upgrade to existing XIV Gen3 systems

Unparalleled rebuild time

v11.6 brings impressive rebuild time with high density drives

Fully utilized 6TB drive rebuilds in under 1 hour

Negligible performance impact during rebuilds

High reliability keeps your data safe

Leading drive rebuild time

12.5 min per TB!

Rebuild times measured with 100% system FULL

Real life scenarios much shorter

All Gen3 models!



11.1.1 11.2 11.5.1+

2 TB 60 min 26 min 20 min

3 TB 102 min 39 min 27 min

4 TB - - 36 min

6 TB - - 54 min



Fortifying 800Gb Flash Cache for Gen3 SystemsEnjoy top performance amid HDD economics.

XIV uniquely brings HDD economics to your doorstep with tuning-free, world-class price-performance and efficiency!

800Gb Flash Cache boosts the disk-to-cache ratio, supporting seamless performance scaling in step with the denser 4Tb and 6Tb systems

Customers can opt for the best fit for their business objectives-800Gb Flash Cache - up to 12Tb per 15 module system -400Gb Flash Cache - up to 6Tb per 15 module system

XIV algorithms enhance the power of commodity flash drives to help deliver the ultra-high cache performance, tuning free to all system data

Applicable to systems with 4Tb and 6Tb HDD only

QoS Classes

• Ability to create “virtual tiers” of storage without the need to move data between tiers

• Limit the bandwidth consumption of:

• Hosts

• Pools

• Domains

• Up to 500 QoS classes in the system



IBM XIV Real-time Compression (RtC)

XIV with RtC:• Field-proven IBM Random Access Compression Engine (RACE) technology – compresses active primary

data

• RTC load spread over entire XIV grid• IBM RtC compression guarantee for new systems• Built in, highly accurate compression estimator• 45 day trial at no extra charge• License on new and existing XIVs, per installed module

Store up to 5X the data in the same physical space

Client benefits:• Best in the industry – inline, no background processing• Easy to apply and manage, software-based capacity scaling• Informed choice of when best to compress• Grid-optimized enterprise grade performance

XIV 11.6 also supports Microsoft Azure Site Recovery for data center disaster recovery orchestration

Typical XIV RtC compression ratios



XIV with RtC: More benefits• Field-proven, customer-trusted, predictable leading compression ratios. Benefit from low-risk

over-provisioning and capacity planning

• Applies to hot and cold data. Non-disruptively hot-compress existing data

• No internal I/O overhead and XIV grid architecture advantage. Enjoy scalable, highly-parallelized compression performance

Implemented with world-class XIV ease of use




From code 11.4 to today:

Deep XIV – VMware Integration and Affinity



All storage managed as a single system – a hyper store

• IBM Hyper-Scale enables creation of a large scale-out data farm of multiple systems: containers are added to, and become part of, a hyper store

• Storage can be migrated among containers in a manner transparent to host applications; in the longer term, migration can be governed by QoS and management policies

Steps toward the vision• IBM Hyper-Scale Mobility: Online, non-disruptive data motion between XIV

frames in a manner transparent to applications

• IBM Hyper-Scale Manager: Powerful administration of multiple XIV systems through consolidated views (available since 4Q 2012)

A new approach to scalable management

IBM Hyper-Scale Mobility for transparent data migration Flexible moving of volumes between frames

with full transparency to the host operating system and application

Facilitates migration by giving access to a volume through multiple storage controllers as a single, multipath volume on the host

Administrators can move volumes to take advantage of capabilities on other systems, such as flash caching
