Success Story: Let us make this Storwize V7000 run faster!
This was a very exiting and successful week! This is a customer success story where BVQ helped to fix performance issues in a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) environment with IBM Storwize V7000 storage. The Red Hat environment is set up with six storage volumes which have been thin provisioned and compressed to optimize the capacity efficiency. Unacceptable performance of the RHEV The situation in the beginning of the project was that the performance of the RHEV environment was reduced due to very high latencies from the... [More]

Several V7000 with performance problems fixed this month :)
We had a very interesting month. We have fixed performance problems on 3 different V7000 Systems in Europe - all of them are running much better now. The problems have been found in very different places: SAN, Cache Overload, Compression, ... In no case we had to extend a system - all was solved with changes in setup only. Do not hesitate to call us when you have performance problems with a Storwize or with a SVC. We will use BVQ to locate the reason for it. No risk for you, no purchase obligation.

A smaller scan interval will allow even deeper looks into the system. The possibility to change these settings on the fly without any interrupt supports normal ands deep analysis mode. To switch from 5 minutes to 1 minute is easy and does not need any special activity! You just change the timing of the statistics collection on the SVC or Storwize.... [More]
