Overall Satisfaction with IBM System Storage DS8000

We are replacing EMC storage with IBM storage. It's used company wide. Will be looking to implement FlashCopy for database backups.
  • Hopefully it won't have the internal problems like EMC that caused a major data issue last year.
  • I'm too new to have a good comparison of how this storage works.
  • Unknown.
  • I do not know the cost. If it prevents future system wide outages, it will be a great ROI for our company.
Not sure. I do DBA work, not storage. We use a lot of storage for DBA work but a different team does all storage maintenance.
Hopefully it will be well suited for all our storage needs. From a database perspective, we will need storage for all our DB2 and IMS data. We currently use DASD storage for our virtual tape (image copies) also.
