What IBM Spectrum Virtualize Can Do for Your Business

The era is over in which organizations focused on infrastructure more than information, often disregarding cost and shortchanging the business functions that the infrastructure was supposed to support. Instead, organizations today are searching for better ways to store, manage, protect and use their data, including private clouds or hybrid clouds that combine on-premises and cloud storage for higher flexibility at lower cost. IBM Spectrum Virtualize provides a new solution to meet this challenge including hybrid cloud configurations using both continuous mirroring and snapshots.

Improve Data Value

Reduces the cost of storing data by increasing utilization and using data reduction, and accelerating applications to speed business insights.

Increase Data Security

Helps protect data from disclosure, and enables a complete high availability strategy including nondisruptive data and application mobility and full DR protection.

Enhance Data Simplicity

Enables a data strategy independent of infrastructure choice with tightly integrated functionality and consistent management across heterogeneous storage.

Support new opportunities

Enables enterprises to use the software on x86-based servers providing new opportunities for hybrid cloud deployments and hosted private clouds.

Enable new services

For service providers, IBM Spectrum Virtualize software enables provision of new disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) offerings for users of IBM SVC, Storwize, and supported heterogeneous storage.

“We took advantage of all the features of IBM Spectrum Virtualize technology, which enabled us to save a very large amount of space by leveraging its compression capabilities—sometimes even up to 90 percent”

“Scalability, cost-efficiency and maximum business continuity were key factors in our decision. We were also looking for sophisticated virtualization capabilities, which would allow us to guarantee seamless failover between our two data centers”

“In the past, we spent a lot of time configuring and agreeing on what data goes where. IBM Spectrum Virtualize removes that work, saving us about four days each month. Application owners can now request storage, and get it about 30 minutes later.”
