Looking to reduce the complexity and costs of managing your SAN-based storage? The IBM TotalStorage Open Software family combines the power of our storage virtualization software and Tivoli storage management software to help you address these challenges head-on. These solutions are designed to help simplify your storage infrastructure, optimize your storage utilization, and enable your business to adapt quickly and dynamically to variable environments. Virtualization and effective storage management can help you more effectively address the task of building an on demand operating environment.
Storage virtualization software is designed to improve the flexibility and utilization of your storage. Virtualzation works by pooling your storage volumes, files and file systems into a single reservoir of capacity for centralized management. This reservoir can include storage capacity from multiple vendors and platforms in heterogeneous environments. Virtualization is also designed to reduce the effects of reconfigurations and at the hardware level, to help support business continuity.
