XIV Sales and pre-sales Technical Training

IBM has acquired XIV Information Systems and become part of STG’s System Storage business unit. XIV Information Systems’ revolutionary architecture is specifically designed to mitigate the impact of hardware failures while supporting high levels of scalability. It’s based on a distributed parallel processing algorithm which maximizes storage utilization with data spread across all drives.
This unique approach allows for easier management and configuration, reduced energy consumption and autonomic performance tuning, all while presenting a simple user interface.
