1 ACSG Newsletter Mai 2014 Sehr geehrte Anwender, IBM hat vor kurzem das Plattenspeichersystem Storwize V7000 Generation 2 angekündigt! Die Storwize Familie ist mit weltweit über ausgelieferten Storwize Systemen, über Disk Enclosures und über 1,6 Exabytes Kapazität sehr populär und erfolgreich. Die neue Storwize V7000 kann mit existierenden Storwize Systemen geclustered werden, so dass Sie über Investitionsschutz verfügen. Die neue V7000 liefert: eine neue Hardware Plattform mit Verdoppelung der Ausbaufähigkeit und Durchsatzleistung Hardware Compression Accelerator für Realtime Compression von aktiven Daten, so dass abhängig vom Compression Faktor erheblich umfangreichere Datenvolumen auf einem definierten Plattensystem gespeichert werden können Microcode Version 7.3 mit EasyTIER 3, Storage Pool Balancing und vereinfachte Lizenzierung für V7000 Unified Support für NFSv4, SMB 2.1 Protokolle, Departmental Multi Tenancy und Multi Writer für die Active Cloud Engine Die Code Version 7.3 ist für alle existierenden Storwize-Systeme V7000, V5000 und V3700 sowie für Storage Virtual Controller SVC identisch. Damit können die V5000 und V3700 jetzt auf 10 Enclosures (1x Controller - Platten Enclosure, 9x Platten Enclosures) ausgebaut werden. Die näheren Details finden Sie als Präsentation in der Anlage vor. Die Verfügbarkeit beginnt ab 06. Juni, für Storwize File Modul Software V1.5 ab 20. Juni und für die V7000 Unified Systeme ab 18. Juli dieses Jahres. Für Fragen, Angebote und Realisierung stehen wir Ihnen zur Verfügung. Wir freuen uns auf Ihren Anruf oder eine .
