IBM Storage V7000 Simulator 17

IBM Storage V7000 is a virtualizing RAID storage system that provides high performance, scalability, and advanced features for enterprise data storage. IBM Storage V7000 Simulator 17 is a software tool that allows users to simulate the IBM Storage V7000 system on their own computers, without requiring any physical hardware. The simulator can be used for learning, testing, and demonstration purposes.

Features of IBM Storage V7000 Simulator 17

IBM Storage V7000 Simulator 17 has the following features:

It supports the latest IBM Spectrum Virtualize software version 8.3.1, which is part of the IBM Spectrum Storage family. IBM Spectrum Virtualize software provides functions such as logical unit virtualization, logical volume management, mirroring, compression, encryption, replication, and more.

It supports the NVMe-attached drives in the control enclosures, which provide significant performance improvements as compared to SAS-attached flash drives. NVMe-attached drives support multiple queues so that each CPU core can communicate directly with the drive, avoiding the latency and overhead of core-core communication.

It supports the optional SAS-attached expansion enclosures that accept a range of SAS drive types and capacities. The expansion enclosures can be attached to the control enclosures to increase the storage capacity and performance of the system.

It supports the distributed RAID level 6 for best resiliency. Distributed RAID level 6 distributes data and parity across multiple drives in a way that minimizes the impact of drive failures and rebuilds.

It supports the IBM FlashCore Modules, which are self-compressing and self-encrypting NVMe flash drives that offer high performance, low latency, and high endurance. IBM FlashCore Modules also support hardware compression assist, which offloads the compression workload from the CPU to the drive.

It supports the iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) protocol, which uses Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) to transfer data between hosts and storage systems over Ethernet networks. iSER reduces the CPU utilization and improves the throughput and latency of iSCSI connections.

It supports the system topology options of standard and stretched cluster. Standard topology is where all node canisters in the system are at the same site. Stretched cluster topology is where the system consists of at least two I/O groups, each at a different site. A volume can be active on two I/O groups so that it can immediately be accessed by the other site when a site is not available.
