Storage attach terminology

• Native attach – consists of one of two methods– Direct attach – switch or fabric device is not required between the adapter and the

storage device

– Fabric attach – switch or fabric device is required between the adapter and the storage device

• Virtual SCSI – A virtual I/O server (VIOS or IBM i) provides a virtual SCSI adapter to a client operating system (IBM i, AIX, or Linux)

• N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) – aka virtual fibre channel – A virtual I/O server (VIOS) provides a virtual fibre channel adapter to the client operating system (IBM i, AIX, or Linux)

Summary

• Flash is breaking new ground and changing how we look at IT infrastructure and how we define performance.

• The hard disk drives continues to have a future in your data center…storing the data you rarely need to access.

• The IBM FlashSystem family enables a new future where IT is no longer constrained and pained by the need to deploy HDD for performance.
