The IBM® System Storage® SAN Volume Controller supports IBM and
non-IBM storage
systems hosts so that you can consolidate storage capacity and workloads
for open-systems hosts into a single storage pool. The storage pool
can then be managed from a central point on the SAN (storage area
network).
By giving you the ability to attach hosts from different vendors,
the
SAN Volume Controller offers
you the following advantages:
- Makes your storage easier to manage
- Increases utilization of your data
- Provides support to apply advanced Copy Services
functions across storage systems from many different vendors
