As part of its Project Big Green and its bid to help clients efficiently manage and consolidate volumes of business data, IBM has introduced its next generation storage virtualisation software.
IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller (SVC) 4.3 software will address client demand for greener storage technologies by improving storage utilisation and scalability of applications and instilling energy efficiency.
The new IBM SVC 4.3 will serve to improve flexibility and responsiveness of IT infrastructure by creating consolidated, virtual pools of information across the enterprise, which will in turn enable IT departments to respond quicker to client needs and centrally manage resources.
Very cool, I’ll need to check this out. Anything we can do to improve storage availability and utilization has to be a good thing, storage virtualization is the way forward, it will be interesting to see what the IBM value proposition is.
