Server and Storage Hypervisors
Server hypervisors…
– Virtualize physical servers driving up efficiency
– Allow for transparent mobility of virtual machines
– Improve labor efficiency through a common management
interface regardless of the type of OS running in the virtual
machine or brand of hardware being utilized
IBM offers the hypervisor for storage…

Storage Hypervisor: Customer case studyIBM Global Account (IGA)
Business challenge:
IGA (IBM’s internal operations) is a massive operation. Data growth
and labor costs were outpacing budgets. Provisioning responsiveness was
not meeting objectives.
Benefits:
Provisioning time reduced from months to days
20% increase in storage utilization
50% reduction in cost / TB through consolidation and tiering
Block Storage Solution:
Implement a Storage Hypervisor with IBM System Storage SAN
Volume Controller and Tivoli Storage Productivity Center. With 9PB of
tiered storage now virtualized and connected to over 35k fibre channel
ports, IGA can improve labor productivity and storage efficiency while
delivering higher service levels.
