  1. IBM System Storage Product OverviewPart 3 This document is for IBM and IBM Business Partner use only. It is not intended for customer distribution or use with customers.

  2. Competitive Differentiation

  3. EMC Competitive Intelligence

  4. Compared to IBM Information Infrastructure, EMC has … • Less virtualization support for multi-vendor disk systems • Slower to market with Scale Out NAS • Slower storage software growth • Smaller storage services team • Limiting strategy.Says “tape is dead” • Smaller Information Management software portfolio

  5. HP Competitive Intelligence

  6. HP Key Strengths • FY08 revenue $118.2 Bill • CEO Mark Hurd: “Great companies excel in tough times, and in tough times, customers turn to great companies” • Strong focus on cost cutting • Acquired EDS to be integrated in Technology Solutions Group • Strenghthen HP’s services and outsourcing capabilities • Uncertaincy for EDS outsorcing customers without HP technology • Ron Rittenmeyer, former CEO of EDS, has retired • Acquisition of Left Hand in Oct. 2008 • To be integrated in future HP product releases • SAN Virtualization Services Platform (SVSP) released Nov 2008 • SVC competitor based on former StoreAge technology

  7. High-end disk Virtualized disk Midrange disk 4.9M (cache) 4.0M (cache) 575K (cache) 272K (SPC-1) 200K (SPC-1) 225K (cache) Disk I/Os per second SVC XP24000 DS8000 XP24000 DS4800 EVA8100 IBM HP IBM and published tests Compared to IBM Information Infrastructure, HP has … • Declining disk and tape market share • Smaller, slower growing storage software portfolio • Smaller storage services team • Lower capacity Tape Libraries • Mainframe: No tape; resells disk • Slower disk systems (maximum throughput)* * Performance based on IBM internal studies and estimates, and published benchmarks.

  8. Review questions • The leading virtualization software in the industry is • EMC Invista • HDS Tagamastore • HP True Copy • IBM San Volume Controller • How can we attach the DS3000 series? • FC, iSCSI, and SAS. • FC, GX bus, iSCSI, and NAS • SATA, FATA, and FC • All the above • What is the key differentiating factor of the DS5000 product ? • An 8 gb/s transfer rate • SATA disk drives only • A 4 gb/s transfer rate and mixed SATA and FC drives • Dual p5 570 processors • What is a major unique function on the DS8000 series • Over 500 TB of capacity • Support for main frames and Power Systems for ibusiness • Logical partitions • 4 gb/s transfer rate

  9. Review questions • What is the key new function added to LTO 4 tape drives in addition to capacity and speed increases? • WORM • 19 “ rack support • Ability to read and write TS1120 tapes • Encryption • What 2 key value add facets to the DS6800 ? • Density of footprint and mainframe/Powers System i support • 4 gb transfer rate • SAS and FC attachment • All the above • What is the major application areas of Tivoli Storage Manager? • ERP, SCM, CRM, and Business Intelligence • Save/restore, archival, and space management • Business Intelligence • Engineering scientific applications • What is the major strength and weakness, respectively, of EMC? • High performance storage and weak sales force • Product breadth and low market share • Great sales force and lack of full service offerings • 8 gb/s transfer rate across the board and data retention systems
