Storage Management Software

In our case we use it in two ways, the first in our internal laboratory where it is connected to the development and testing servers for the applications that are supported by our clients with whom we manage their services and the other way we use IBM Spectrum Virtualize is with the clients where we manage the storage service.

Provision drives over fiber and/or iSCSI connections
Perform volume replications between 2 storages efficiently
The ability to virtualize other storage and make it easy to provision

I would like the management of connections through the network to be easy to see
The new GUI is easy to use but has less viewing area in the sections than the previous one
The configuration in the new GUI on remote copies is more complicated than the previous one that showed everything in 2 tabs

Positively, it has generated good initial sales for us and with proper management, the growth of application operations generates more services to manage.
Positively, the growth of the operation has also helped the team to update its capabilities in order to grow.
The only possible disadvantage is that since the equipment is very reliable and durable, technological change is not easy to make. Clients prefer to grow the equipment while they can rather than make a complete change, but even so, the time comes when all this produces more services.

IBM Spectrum Virtualize, better known as SAN Volume Controller, is used to virtualize all the SAN storage and presents LUNS to our IBM, Red Had, Oracle systems. It does to storage as VMware does to servers. It addresses what one can do by upgrading back-end storage without affecting production and migrating to such new storage without user impact.

Virtualizes all your Block Storage
Works on Fibre Channel or iSCSI
Saves time, engineering and money for overtime of just watching data copy

Costly but worth every dime in staff hours saved
Each generation has its limits on Fibre Channel speed it supports and one must upgrade the nodes to get to higher speeds
User Interface is now light speed ahead of where it started.

Easy to learn and use
GUI is intuitive and without using it for a while, your comfort level comes back quickly.
Non service impacting, even when upgrading nodes.

Positive ROI and saves labor costs of engineers
Fast to implement
Worth the cost !!
