common enterprise applications and solutions. With its latest
enhancements, the DS8000 delivers more broadly defined qualities of
service.”
– Mike Kahn, Managing Director, The Clipper Group, Inc.
• "The new Easy Tier intra-tier data rebalancing, combined with enhanced I/O
Priority Manager QoS feature, makes the DS8000 more attractive for clients
looking to consolidate more workloads on a single system." (1)
– Benjamin S. Woo, Program Vice President, Worldwide Storage Systems Research, IDC
• “IBM Easy Tier's "turn it on and it runs" approach is what clients continue to
expect and enjoy with the DS8000, which contrasts starkly with other
solutions that offer the equivalent of set of components for users to
manually build their own automated tiering facility.”
• "Easy Tier on IBM's flagship DS8000 disk system looks to be the most intelligent – David Hill, Mesabi Group
and most automated block tiering solution on the market"

24. Server Hypervisor -What does virtualization help you achieve
1. Resources are consolidated & virtualized – pooled together and accessed anywhere.- Virtual
machines – better utilization
(as opposed to physical array-boundary limitations)
2. Services are standardized & Data Mobility – selected from a service catalog.
(as opposed to customized configuration)- Vmotion
3. Provisioning is self-service – administrators use automation to allocate capacity from the
catalog.
(as opposed to manual component-level provisioning)
4. Usage is paid per use – end users are aware of the impact of their consumption and service
level choices.
(as opposed to paid from a central IT budget)
