Improve data availability and accessibility while containing costs
Protect mission-critical data
The V-Series’ fast and powerful SnapShot, Synchronous Mirroring and PPRC technology work to help protect mission-critical data and assure its availability for business continuity and disaster recovery. SnapShot software copies and recovers data in seconds and provides as may copies as needed instantly, without much disk consumption. Data is ready to share immediately after a “snap” is taken.
Simplify DB2 Backup
The V-Series with it tight DB2 integration and Virtual Concurrent Copy provide consistent image copy of DB2, IMS or CIS databases without disruption to production or user access thus greatly increasing its availability and reducing it’s backup window.
Keep costs under control
The FlexLine V-series alleviates the traditional dilemma of balancing over-allocation and under-utilization of resources with budget constraints. The V-Series advanced virtual architecture provides up to 100% disk utilization and virtual storage over-allocation up to its maximum capacity without reserving physical disk. Customers pay for only that which they use with increased capacity on demand when needed. This defers acquisitions of additional primary disk, lowers operating costs and reduces storage management workloads.
Simplify storage management
V-Series makes it easy
Managing disk is far easier with the V-Series. The integrated management software provides a complete management environment that can save hours of daily labor by automating and simplifying tasks. Built-in intelligence handles self-tuning, automatic media management and disruption-free configuration changes.
Flexibility
Dynamic volume expansion and over provisioning facilitate growth and enable fast re-configurations for changing business needs.
Enhance development and increase value
Enhance application testing and application development
Virtual Power Suite™ SnapShot software makes application development faster and more effective by creating and restoring multiple data set copies fast and easy. This enables concurrent test and development resulting in improved quality and faster time to market. New applications can be tested more extensively both in terms of number of tests as well as the duration of tests with the most current live data.
