© 2013 IBM Corporation 2 CEOs believe technology will be at the forefront of driving change through 2015* Is your storage infrastructure optimized for the greatest efficiency of all your applications and resources? Does your storage infrastructure enable you to provide rich, actionable insight? “71% of CEOs identify technology change as the most important external force impacting their organizations” * * IBM, Leading Through Connections: Insights from the Global Chief Executive Officer Study, May % CFOs report that pressure remains high to control costs and increase efficiency

© 2013 IBM Corporation 10 IBM Storwize family Real-time Compression database performance Storwize family Real-time Compression delivers up to 5x compression while maintaining or improving database transaction response time and Combine with flash for extraordinary business advantage The benchmark was performed using a Storwize V7000 system with 48 x 300GB SAS disks. 1.2TB database with 700 concurrent clients were used in the benchmark. The same test was performed with compressed volumes and non-compressed volumes. Stock Level Response Time in Seconds DeliveryOrder Status No Compression - 96 disks Compressed – 48 disks Compressed – 6 flash drives
