Overall Satisfaction with IBM FlashSystem
IBM Storwize V7000 is a simple box that can help you deliver SAN block storage to your servers. It is mainly used in virtualized environments. It has the capability of providing replication to a secondary site, by doing async or sync replicas of your data. Because it supports different disk technologies under one pool, you can reduce overall costs, maintaining fare performance.
Pros
- Easy to use.
- Great GUI.
- Easy Tier capability.
Cons
- Only block storage box.
- Many incidents over a few years.
- If easy tier not planned well, the performance might be impacted.
- Storage admin reduction of costs.
- Not an expensive solution.
- Maintain low operative costs.
IBM Storwize V7000 stacked up against its competitor's thanks to costs, usage, and growth.
- You can combine different Storwize family members to virtualize and to replicate.
- You can use its virtualization capability to virtualize your existing storage boxes until their end of use. After that it is very easy to migrate all data to V7000 natively.
