Storwize at a Glance


With increasing demand for faster, more powerful and more efficient ways to store mission-critical information, the key challenge for IT managers is increasing data storage capacity without increasing costs. IT departments are faced with ever-increasing volumes of digital information consuming primary and secondary storage and are required to safeguard this data in order to comply with both corporate and governmental regulations. Storwize has developed Innovative solutions to minimize costs while maximizing capacity without compromise. The solution, based on a high performance compression appliance that requires no network changes to an existing environment, provides transparent, real time compression aimed at primary storage.



Storwize Real-Time Data Footprint Reduction Solutions without Compromise


   Key benefits include:

•  
 
Transparency
– Real-time data compression operates transparently,
without any change of workflow or existing configuration. No software installation is required on hosts, workstations or the storage system.

•     Easy Administration– The STN-6000p manages each step of the compression and decompression process with no effect on other network components.

•     Instantaneous Compression –the Storwize appliance reduces the size of raw data before it reaches the storage system. This operation dramatically reduces impact on storage system resources, including storage space itself and the use of read/write and CPU resources.

•     Space Savings – With the STN-6000p appliance in place, the storage system is never required to allocate space for both the uncompressed and compressed versions of a file.

•     Reduced Disk Utilization – Real-time compression can reduce disk utilization by as much as 90%.

•     Agnostic – the Storwize STN-6000p appliance is application and storage agnostic.
