Strategy 7 today announced that the firm has added the IBM XIV® Storage System to it's line of IBM Data Management Products.

The IBM XIV® Storage System is a revolutionary, easily managed, high-end, open disk system, designed to meet today's ongoing herculean IT challenges.

The groundbreaking disk system is designed to support business requirements for a highly available information infrastructure. It applies automated data distribution, unique caching, and other innovations to eliminate hotspots. Delivering single-tier storage featuring high-end performance, reliability, availability, and scalability, the XIV comes can be implemented at an exceptionally low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

"It is the industry's first single-architecture storage system, providing exceptional value to S7 Customers.

IBM XIV offers a powerful data migration feature that migrates volumes while preventing downtime," comments Strategy 7 President Joe Rodriguez.

The XIV system scales non-disruptively from partial to full rack configurations (27 TB to 79 TB usable), meeting-evolving capacity needs on-demand. Its unique architectural design scales throughput proportionally, giving the power boost needed to keep performance high.
