The Storwize V7000 system is built upon the IBM SAN Volume Controller technology base and uses technology from the IBM System Storage DS8000 family.
An Storwize V7000 system provides a number of configuration options that are aimed at simplifying the implementation process. It also provides automated wizards, called Directed Maintenance Procedures (DMP) to help resolve any events that might occur. An Storwize V7000 system is a clustered, scalable, and midrange storage system, and an external virtualization device.
