IBM SystemsData Sheet Flash caching (optional): XIV deploys flash as a cacheacross all volumes and without the need to manage tiers. Thef lash drives cache the most frequently accessed data, boostingperformance by up to 4.5 times.2Smart scaling: Any capacity increase via added modules provides a corresponding increase in processing power, cache,f lash caching (optional) and connectivity, for consistent highperformance as the 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.

As workloadschange and evolve, the system stays hotspot-free.High bandwidth: Inter-module communication is overan internal, redundant InfiniBand network equippedwith massive bandwidth. Each module has very large CPU-to-memoryand disk-to-memorybandwidth.Huge resources: Each module has its own six-coreprocessor—180 CPU cores per frame. XIV applies thisvast processing power to support small cache slots, ensuringhigh performance.15 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 SheetExceptional data economicsEffortless integration across hostplatformsReal-time compression, use of very high-density drives, spacereclamation capabilities, ease of use, ENERGY STAR certification and flexible licensing options help make XIV an industryleader in economic value. XIV integrates with leading platforms—at no extra cost. More capacity: From 1 PB to 2 PB of enterprise storageunder 1 USD per GB of effective capacity,6 guaranteed, andup to 288 PB with hyper-scale management of 144 systems.Inline compression: XIV uses field-proven IBM RandomAccess Compression Engine (RACE) technology, effectivelyincreasing usable capacity per rack to one PB or more1 without requiring acceleration hardware:– Leverages the XIV grid architecture to scale compressionperformance and simplify compression management– Replicates compressed data faster, hence using less bandwidth, freeing up bandwidth for other uses– Continuously displays predicted or actual compressionratios for all volumes– Converts non-compressed to compressed volumesnondisruptivelyEase of use: Compressing data has never been so easy;enabled by default, XIV volumes are compressed, and do notrequire continuous monitoring or any tuning.Time savings: Time saved is money saved. XIV users provision data by simply sizing volumes. Logical unit number(LUN) mapping is drag and drop. Workloads are ingestedwithout need for I/O analysis or performance tuning.Snapshots and test environments are differential, createdin seconds. Data migration is fast, and remote mirroringis easy and across generations. A mobile dashboard offers“anywhere, anytime” real-time notifications and systemmonitoring.Easy acquisition: XIV system software includes allfunctionality ready for use.
