Easy Tier
Provide automatic migration of frequently accessed data elements to high-performing flash storage
Encryption for virtualized storage* Helps improve security for data without requiring upgrades to existing storage systems
Real-time Compression*
Helps improve efficiency by storing up to five times as much active primary data in the same physical
disk space; by significantly reducing storage requirements, you can keep up to five times more
information online, use the improved efficiency to reduce storage costs, or achieve a combination of
greater capacity and reduced cost
Enable up to five times as much data to be stored on your existing storage, while also reducing your
future storage needs
External virtualization*
Virtualize your existing storage to make it part of a Lenovo V5030 system, where it inherits the
advantages of V Series capabilities
Thin provisioning
Support business applications that need to grow dynamically, while consuming only the space actually
used
Metro Mirror and Global Mirror
Allow synchronous or asynchronous data replication between V Series family offerings for maximum
flexibility and backup efficiency; support Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and IP
(Ethernet) networking
Dynamic migration
Create a near-instant copy of active data that can be used for backup or for parallel processing activities;
support recovery of corrupted data
Provide nondisruptive migration to speed implementation
HyperSwap
Allow high-availability configurations for resilient virtualized environments
Storage Mobile Dashboard
Provide basic monitoring capabilities to securely check the health and performance status of your system

Lenovo and IBM Intermix & Connectivity Rules

What you CAN do
Clustering You can cluster a V5000 (Gen 1) purchased from Lenovo with a Lenovo Storage V5030 (Gen 2)
They must both be sourced from Lenovo. No clustering across vendors.
Virtualization - Virtualization can go across Gen 1 and Gen 2, as well as across IBM and Lenovo
An IBM Storwize V5000, V5030 or V7000 can virtualize a Lenovo V Series Gen 1 or Gen 2 array, and
A Lenovo Storwize V5000, V7000 or Lenovo Storage V5030 can virtualize an IBM Storwize product.
Remote Replication - Remote replication can be between Gen. 1 and Gen. 2, as well as across IBM and Lenovo
IBM Storwize arrays can be connected to a Lenovo V Series array via the Remote Replication features of each of them
IBM / Lenovo Gen 1 / 2
IBM / Lenovo Gen 1 / 2

Lenovo and IBM Intermix & Connectivity Rules

What you CANNOT do
No intermix of IBM and Lenovo enclosures, parts or features are allowed.

o
o
No intermix of Lenovo Storwize V3500/V3700/V5000 (Gen 1) and Lenovo Storage V3700 V2/V5030 (Gen 2) parts
are allowed, except
o
Power cords, FC host cables
No intermix of unique parts between the Lenovo Storage V3700 V2 models

o
If a Storwize system is an IBM Machine Type (e.g.: V3700 = 2072), then ALL options and expansion enclosures must be
ordered from IBM
If a Storage system is a Lenovo Machine Type (e.g.: V3700 = 6099), then ALL options and expansion enclosures must be
ordered from Lenovo
Advanced Function activation keys (PNs differ between V3700 V2 models)
Storwize V5000 and Lenovo Storage V5030 - no transfers of SW licenses from one box to another. SW licenses
are attached to the serial number of an enclosure
o
The only exception would be for SW licenses for External Virtualization which correspond to an external storage device. If the
Lenovo Storwize V5000 or Lenovo Storage V5030 that is virtualizing that external storage is changed, the licenses for
external virtualization attached to that external device can be transferred.
20
Why buy V Series from Lenovo?

Simple to order and support:
The Lenovo V Series products have one part number with 3 years support.
IBM has separate HW and SW part numbers required with one year warranty which requires complex ordering and more
costly service and support warranty upgrades and SW Maintenance agreements.
Quick and Easy to Purchase:

Via programs like Top Seller, Lenovo provides aggressively priced channel stocking and support making Lenovo V Series
quick and easy to order.
IBM is a BTO product that requires Deal Registration and special bid on every system which can be time consuming and
complex for small to medium size deals
Lenovo Server Optimized:

Lenovo provides one stop Service and Support for V Series Storage purchased with all Lenovo Servers.
Partners and customers that purchase Storage from IBM will not have one stop support for complete server/storage
solutions.
Channel Profitability:
For Business Partners, Lenovo provides rich incentives to sell Lenovo Products.
Selling Lenovo V Series counts to quota and incentive attainment for Lenovo Business Partners.

Encryption for Virtualized Storage

Increasing Data Security
Improves data security
Software based encryption
Improves data protection

5-10x faster rebuild of data following a drive failure with internal drives
Improves data availability

Fully duplexed copies of data and automatic switchover across data centers
Eliminates storage downtime

Non-disruptive movement of data from one type of storage to another
34
Deliver Encryption for External Virtualized Storage

Add encryption to existing storage systems
Helps to improve data security
Eliminates capital expense for new storage systems or drives to enable encryption
Reduces operating expense with single point of administration for encryption
Minimal impact on performance

Takes advantage of Intel AES-NI processor instructions to perform encryption
Typical encryption use cases

Protection against disclosure of data when drives removed
Malicious removal of drives
Drives returned to vendor as part of maintenance actions
Secure erasure of storage
Drives or arrays being reused for different data
System being sold or otherwise disposed of
Spectrum Virtualize encryption addresses all these use cases
35
Real-time Compression
Increase The Amount of Data You Can Store
Support for active data, unlike other storage compression solutions
Improve storage you already own
Up to 90% compression on active data
More data = more benefit
Simple Efficiency
Set it and forget it
Choosing the data growth path

which one can you afford?
36

Achieve Faster Response Times
Effortlessly, intelligently distribute workload across storage in a pool
Maximizes system throughput
Takes into account performance capability of different arrays
Minimizes system tuning effort
Eliminates manual movement when adding new storage to a pool
Turned on by default for all storage pools
No additional charge
37
Distributed RAID
Improve Data Protection
Improved RAID implementation
Faster drive rebuild improves availability
Enables use of lower cost larger drives with confidence
All drives are active, which improves performance especially with flash drives
Spare capacity, not spare drives

Rotating spare capacity position distributes rebuild load across all drives
More drives participate in rebuild
Bottleneck of one drive is removed
More drives means faster rebuild

5-10x faster than traditional RAID
Especially important when using large drives
No idle spare drives

All drives contribute to performance
Especially important when using flash drives
38
FlashCopy
FlashCopy (snapshot) function is optional for up to 4096 targets
Enables taking more or more frequent copies
Support more VMs from a single master copy
Enables more work to proceed in parallel
More copies can reduce impact of having to use a backup copy

For example, taking a copy every hour instead of every day
Reduces potential impact by up to 95%
39
HyperSwap
Deliver Extreme High Availability
Protect, share and move data
Completely redundant storage infrastructure even after site failure
Continuous data access with no performance impact
