IBM Storwize systems were virtualizing RAID computer data storage systems with raw storage capacities up to 32 PB. [2] Storwize is based on the same software as IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC).

Formerly Storwize was an independent data storage organisation. [3]

Сollateral lines:

The Storwize family offers several members: [4]

Each of the above family members run software that is based on a common source codebase, although each has a type specific downloadable package.

In Feb 2020 the Storwize V5000 and V5100 are replaced by the FlashSystem 5000 and 5100 respectively; and the FlashSystem 900 and Storwize V7000 are replaced by the FlashSystem 7200. [1]

Timeline

Timeline for IBM Storwize V series.svg

According to the official availability dates and the days the systems are removed from marketing you can determine the following availability to purchase shown in light green.

The graphics only contains the IBM storage systems starting with 'V', .i.e. V3700, V5000, V5010(E), V5020, V5030(E), V5100 and V7000. These systems vary even beyond their names, therefore the graphics also contains IBM type and model. All the displayed systems can still get regular service at the end of the timeline (beginning of 2020). For the IBM SAN Volume Controller's timeline see there.

Architecture

Storwize V7000 provides a very similar architecture to SVC, using the RAID code from the DS8000 to provide internal managed disks and SSD code from the DS8000 for tiered storage. [5]

Features and software

All Storwize systems offer the following features: [6]

In addition, other Storwize systems offer the following features (some of them may require licenses): [7]

In addition, the Storwize V7000 Unified offered the following features: [8]

Limitations

Most Storwize systems are intended for certain environments and provide several features, that are not licensed by default. There are several types of licenses that depend on the chosen model and the subject of the license:

There are some limitations for each model and each licensed internal code. These can be read on IBMs web pages. Here are examples for V7000, [9] the V5000 series, [10] and IBM SAN Volume Controller. [11]

In addition, there are more contributors to a working environment. IBM provides this in an interactive interoperabitlity matrix called IBM System Storage Interoperation Center (SSIC).

Supported storage media

As of November 2016, available Storwize media sizes include 2.5" flash SSDs with up to 15.36 TB capacity and 3.5" Nearline-HDDs with up to 10 TB capacity, available for Storwize 5000, 7000 and SAN Volume Controller native attach. IBM Storwize Easy Tier will automatically manage and continually optimize data placement in mixed pools of nearline disks / standard disks / read-intensive Flash and enterprise-grade Flash SSDs, including from virtualized devices.

Hardware

The Storwize family hardware consists of control enclosures and expansion enclosures, connected with wide SAS cables (Four lanes of 6 Gbit/s or 12 Gbit/s). Each enclosure houses 2.5" or 3.5" drives. The control enclosure contains two independent control units (node canisters) based on SAN Volume Controller technology, which are clustered via an internal network. Each enclosure also includes two power supply units (PSUs).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hard disk drive</span> Electro-mechanical data storage device

A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk, is an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage with one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material. The platters are paired with magnetic heads, usually arranged on a moving actuator arm, which read and write data to the platter surfaces. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored and retrieved in any order. HDDs are a type of non-volatile storage, retaining stored data when powered off. Modern HDDs are typically in the form of a small rectangular box.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">SCSI</span> Set of computer and peripheral connection standards

Small Computer System Interface is a set of standards for physically connecting and transferring data between computers and peripheral devices. The SCSI standards define commands, protocols, electrical, optical and logical interfaces. The SCSI standard defines command sets for specific peripheral device types; the presence of "unknown" as one of these types means that in theory it can be used as an interface to almost any device, but the standard is highly pragmatic and addressed toward commercial requirements. The initial Parallel SCSI was most commonly used for hard disk drives and tape drives, but it can connect a wide range of other devices, including scanners and CD drives, although not all controllers can handle all devices.

SSD also has rich internal parallelism for data processing.
