IBM SystemsData SheetIBM XIV StorageSystem Gen3A capacity-optimized storage solution with gridarchitecture and powerful cloud capabilitiesHighlightsIncrease effective capacity per rackup to 2 PBs with IBM Real-timeCompression ,1 greatly reducingeffective cost per capacity Deliver enterprise-class storagecapabilities with consistent, predictableperformance to diverse workloads Scale storage management to 288 PBsof effective capacity across hybrid clouds Deliver mature enterprise features andmanagement tools at no extra chargeProtect data with cost-effective disasterrecovery, multi-tenancy, quality of serviceand security featuresIBM XIV Storage System is a capacity-optimized enterprise-class blockstorage solution built to deliver predictable service levels to a diverseworkload mix, high resiliency and management simplicity while offeringexceptional data economics, including more effective capacity throughpowerful real-time compression.Optimized capacityXIV delivers up to 2 PB of effective capacity per system and 288 PB withhyper-scale management of 144 systems. XIV can dramatically reducethe total cost of ownership by increasing the effective capacity while providing cost savings on physical space, power consumption and relatedadministrative costs.Powerful cloud capabilitiesCloud computing imposes important business challenges for both clientcompanies and cloud service providers, both of whom need to meet strictsystem requirements to really take advantage of cloud benefits. Thesedemands include faster application deployment, quick response to unpredictable business workload changes and the ability to maintain consistentperformance across private, public and hybrid environments—all whileavoiding complex analysis or performance tuning. And they must achievethese goals at the same time they are facing pressures to minimize capitaland operating costs.
IBM SystemsData SheetEnterprise availability: With better than five-nines availability,XIV supports continuous operations through self-healing,world-class disk rebuild technology and robust quality ofservice.IBM XIV Storage System Gen3 can help speed and empoweryour cloud deployment in a number of ways:Predictable and consistent performance: The XIV griddesign helps deliver predictable, consistent service levels at alltimes to a diverse workload mix without the need for complexanalysis or performance tuning even during peak load periods,maintenance and disk recovery.All-inclusive capabilities: XIV delivers mature, built-in enterprise features and management tools at no extra charge, including remote replication, snapshots, multi-tenancy, advancedquality of service, monitoring and security. It offers automationand orchestration through support for the OpenStack cloudoperating system, Representational State Transfer (REST) andVMware technologies.Simplified management: XIV simplifies and standardizesstorage management across private, public and hybrid cloudenvironments through world-class ease of use and built-inIBM Hyper-Scale technologies. The system enables users toscale storage management with minimal overhead and training.Data ModuleRACEFCData ModuleRACEHostHostInter moduleISCSIData ModuleRACEConnectivityHostData ModuleRACEUPSUPSUPSXIV Storage System—components and connectivity215 Data modules, each containing:12 disk drives12 CPU cores96 GB Memory800 GB Flash cache4 TB or 6 TB SEDsHost Connectivity24 x 8 Gbps FC Ports22 x 1 Gbps or 12 x 10 Gbps iSCSIPorts2 InfiniBand switches:Redundant inter-moduleconnectivity600 Gbps total internal bandwidth3 UPS modules:Stable power to all systemcomponentsSafe shutdown upon poweroutage
IBM SystemsData SheetCloud deployment and virtualization: XIV supportsOpenStack Cinder for automation; REST applicationprogramming interface (API) for customization; storageself-provisioning via IBM Cloud Storage Access and viaPowerVC for IBM Power environments; deep integrationwith VMware and Microsoft management systems and hypervisors; and full compliance with other virtualization environments, including Citrix XenServer, IBM z/VM and VIOSfor Power Systems . Grid architecture: XIV implements unique grid architectureof interconnected modules, each with its own six-core processor, cache, flash caching and high-density disk drives workingin parallel to serve data and efficiently ensuring tuning-freepredictable and consistent performance to all applications at alltimes—even during peak load periods, maintenance and diskrecovery. XIV accomplishes this by using several architecturalfeatures: Smart scaling: Any capacity increase via added modulesprovides a corresponding increase in processing power, cache,flash caching and connectivity, for consistent performance asthe system scales.Load balancing: The system automatically balances application load across all modules uniformly. Doing so helps prevent many performance and reliability risks that can plaguetraditional clustered controller designs.Hotspot-freedesign: Changes to the application or its input/output (I/O) pattern do not affect system performance. As workloads change and evolve, the system stayshotspot-free. Extraordinary simplicityThe simplicity of XIV management enables effective administration of enterprise-scale storage capacities at a fraction of thestaffing and training requirements of traditional storage systems. The XIV grid architecture provides advanced data distribution and self-healing capabilities that eliminate the need forplanning and complex administration required by traditionalsystems.Distributed data: The system stores data by dividing itinto 1 MB partitions, each mirrored to another module.A pseudo-random distribution algorithm spreads the partitions automatically and uniformly across all the disks.Distributed cache: A flexible and powerful cache implementation allows XIV storage to leverage large slots for readswhile managing a smaller slot size, resulting in a superiorcache hit ratio and better performance.Flash caching: XIV deploys flash as a cache across all volumes and without the need to manage tiers. The flash drivescache the most frequently accessed data, boosting performance by up to 4.5 times.2Tasks related to group administration, volume and snapshotallocation, spare capacity setup, system performance optimization, tiering, and recovery procedures have been removed fromXIV system management requirements. This reduction incomplexity coupled with the solution’s clean and intuitivegraphical user interface (GUI) make XIV an industry leader inmanagement simplification.3
