Abstract
Previously known as IBM Spectrum Virtualize, IBM Storage Virtualize is a cornerstone of the IBM Storage portfolio. It is a versatile storage solution enabling rapid deployment of block storage, including storage virtualization, for various workloads. This flexibility applies to on-premises, off-premises, or hybrid cloud environments.
IBM Storage FlashSystem® and SAN Volume Controller systems leverage IBM Storage Virtualize software to simplify infrastructure management. This software eliminates discrepancies in managing, functioning, and even supporting hybrid multicloud deployments.
Based on IBM Storage Virtualize Version 8.7, this IBM Redbooks® publication equips you with the practical knowledge to get started with these storage systems. We will explore essential considerations for implementation, guiding you through critical decisions like performance optimization and troubleshooting.
This book is intended for pre-sales and post-sales technical support personnel, as well as storage administrators.
