Yesterday I attended an IBM technical overview of their latest mid-range storage product the Storwize V7000 and I must admit I'm rather taken with it!

Imagine your favourite parts of the IBM Storage portfolio packaged into one:

• DS8000 disk tray physical characteristics
• SVC virtualization capabilities
• XIV intuitive Graphical User Interface
• DS4000/5000 terminology
• Reasonable pricing!

What IBM are offering us, is ease of use of the DS5000 product but with the exceptional benefit of easy data migration facility built into the unit. Since this uses IBM's SVC software, it means you can migrate from almost any of your existing storage products (IBM, HP, EMC etc) all through the one unit, and free up your old storage for tier 3 usage or even continue to manage all your storage platforms through the one interface.
