Please note IBM’s statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice at IBM’s sole discretion.
Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision.
The information mentioned regarding potential future products is not a commitment, promise, or legal obligation to deliver any material, code or functionality.

Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here.

How is my capacity being used?
Understanding the storage pyramid – Total pool capacity – Amount of storage in volumes vs available for provisioning – Volumes assigned to hosts vs unassigned
Server probes show how the data is being consumed – How much of the assigned space is actually being used?

Performance troubleshooting
Performance data integrated throughout the entire web GUI – Performance overviews by resource type help identify hot spots – Table actions enable performance views for selected resources
Contextual performance flows for live performance troubleshooting
– View multiple charts on multiple monitors – Troubleshoot an entire data path
Synchronize time ranges for multiple charts with a single click Easily compare performance across different time ranges
– How does performance now compare to last week when I didn’t have an issue?
One click CSV export
10
Performance overviews
Built into any list view of resources that have performance data Easily locate…
– The storage systems doing the most IO – The volumes with the highest response times – The most active pools
11
View performance by selection
Select multiple resources of interest and easily view performance charts
Built into all tables of resources for which performance information is collected
12
Contextual performance flows
View performance for resources along the data path
Navigate from an SVC volume all the way to the backend volume that backs it
13
Performance threshold violations
Set multiple thresholds – High/low – Warning/critical
View charts of the time period when the violation occurred
View volumes that most likely contributed to the violation
Quickly link to the resource that experienced the violation

Server monitoring
Agentless – View storage resource consumption of servers
• Capacity consumed • Performance of volumes and associated storage resources • Storage resource health • Relationships and connectivity
– Quick and easy to create • Provide host name or WWPNs • Immediately view associated storage
With an agent, you also get: – File system information – Exports – Internal disks – HBAs

Virtual Storage Center 5.2 features within Tivoli Storage Productivity Center
20
New features in 5.2
Volume transformations – Change characteristics of volumes – Transparent to host – Automate a very manual process
Optimization – Identify opportunities to right-tier volumes – Save cost – Automated execution
Self service provisioning – Define classes of service for cloud provisioning – Define constraints – End to end automation
21
Storage Transformation
Change the characteristics of SVC managed volumes
– Move pools – Thin provision – Compress – EasyTier
End to end automation – Save time and manual effort
Execute immediately or schedule for a change window
Ability to suspend and resume
22
Optimization
Optimize volume performance –Save storage cost by assuring your data is residing in the right tier –Up-tier hot volumes or volumes containing frequently accessed files –Down-tier cold volumes or volumes containing infrequently accessed
files Balance performance across a selection of pools
–Identify and eliminate hotspots
22
23
Self Service Provisioning
Enable self service provisioning via
– Web GUI – vSphere – Smart Cloud Storage Access – Tivoli Service Automation
Manager Define service classes specifying
storage offerings – Tier of storage – RAID – Encryption – Virtualization – More
Block and file
24
Self Service Provisioning
Service classes restrict the candidate pools for a provisioning request
Performance history is then used to pick the best pool to handle the workload
A user can merely request 1TB of Gold
25
Self Service Provisioning
Capacity pools allow administrators to set up boundaries to further constrain provisioning targets
Restrict on per-user basis – Service classes that can be used – Boundary in which provisioning
can occur Support for approval process
– Only execute requests that you approve
– Or allow automated execution
26
End to end provisioning
Identify the optimal placement for the volume Create the volume Create host mappings Configure zoning
