4. IBM Storwize V7000 and V7000 Unified – Key Features
Easy Tier
Automatically moves extents between Flash, Enterprise and Nearline disk
Real-time Compression
Inline compression for active primary workloads
Up to 80% Savings - More effective than Data Deduplication
Ideal for Databases, VMs, CAD/CAM, etc.
Data-at-Rest Encryption
AES 256 bit encryption implemented in SAS chip of V700 Gen2 Hardware
Storwize v7.4 software for block, and v for file modules
Supports internal SSD and HDD
Works with all other features including Real-time Compression and Easy Tier
Data is compressed first, then encrypted
Encryption keys stored on USB memory sticks
No performance impact to applications!
