Introduction
Todays technological demandsfrom big data to
cloud computingrequire a new approach to storing
data. They require a more intelligent, more efficient,
more automated approach that fundamentally
changes the way we regard storage in general. Enter
IBM Smarter Storage, a strategic approach built on
years of storage industry leadership, innovative and
forward-looking technology design, a comprehensive
portfolio of advanced storage technologies, and a
clear vision of what enterprise storage should be.
With IBM Smarter Storage, you can get more from
your storage technologies than ever before. And you
can leverage even the largest volumes of data to
build a compelling business advantage. IBM Smarter
Storage solutions are:

Efficient by design. Efficiency features are
designed into IBM storage systems from the
beginning. Advanced features are pre-installed,
ready to deploy and operate consistently. Storage-
efficiency technologies can significantly reduce
the amount of data to be stored because they
support all data, including active primary data.

Self-optimizing. Self-optimizing storage operates
at the speed of businessmuch faster and more
accurately than manual performance tuning.
Self-optimizing storage can increase throughput
for critical applications while reducing the cost of
storing less active data.

Cloud agile. Cloud-agile storage has virtualization
built in. Virtualization increases agility by enabling
online data migration and simplified storage
provisioning. Cloud-agile storage enables
immediate self-service and automates most
manual storage administration tasks, improving
the ability to manage larger, more unpredictable
workloads.
Storage leadership and ongoing product innovation
from IBM supports organizations like yours in
significantly improving storage efficiency and
information access with solutions that are easy
to use and powerful enough to control massive
storage growth.
