Storage virtualization solutions
Simplify your hybrid cloud with storage virtualization. Centralize storage resources, extend data services and increase data mobility – without putting your data at risk.
Future-proof ROI with storage virtualization
Optimize storage virtualization performance for Oracle workloads in a VMware environment
Enabling end-to-end Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) virtualized storage for VMware and Oracle database environments using IBM FlashSystem® – powered by IBM Spectrum Virtualize software – yields immediate ROI, finds Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). Benefits include 83% more Oracle OLTP transactions per minute and 79% higher throughput.
Benefits of storage virtualization solutions
Reduce complexity
Consolidate management across existing IBM and non-IBM storage, simplifying administration and improving utilization of storage resources.
Improve performance
Accelerate application performance with IBM Easy Tier®, an AI-driven, dynamic tiering function that automatically moves active data to flash.
Improve data security and mobility
Encrypt existing storage to improve data security. Easily move data and applications into new deployments such as containers or hybrid cloud.
Storage virtualization solutions
Virtualization for flash storage
Modernize existing storage with intelligent system optimization, data reduction, data mobility, security, encryption and ultra-low latency storage with IBM FlashSystem family, powered by IBM Spectrum Virtualize software. Extend these capabilities to heterogeneous storage systems and to the cloud.
Virtualization for public cloud
Replicate or migrate heterogeneous storage systems between on-premises and cloud infrastructure for consistent data management and smart disaster recovery and cyber resiliency. Enable cloud-based DevOps with easy replication of data from on-premises sources.
Virtualization for SAN storage
Simplify management of storage infrastructure, tiered storage and advanced functions with enterprise-class SAN virtualization. Virtual SAN helps your organization achieve better data economics by supporting the new large-scale workloads that are critical to success.
Server virtualization solutions
Server virtualization
Deploy secure, scalable enterprise servers with built in virtualization software that can consolidate multiple workloads onto fewer systems, increasing server utilization and reducing cost.
Enterprise server virtualization
Virtualize your infrastructure on enterprise servers to bring your organization next-level data privacy, security, and resiliency to your hybrid cloud environment.
All flash virtualized storage
The IBM FlashSystem family provides cost-efficient, virtualized storage for organizations of every size, offering the full range of enterprise-class data services and NVMe-accelerated storage performance to entry, mid-range, and high-end deployments.
Storage virtualization case studies
Driving innovation and service continuity
Hall AG and Citynet, a utility company and an IT service provider, deployed IBM FlashSystem, powered by IBM Spectrum Virtualize software, to modernize their infrastructure and maintain business continuity, resulting in significant cost savings from power reductions and a 3x increase in capacity.
