IBM Disk Tiering Technology Review

The IBM System Storage® DS8000® offers an advanced storage solution that builds on a longstanding foundation of smart storage architecture and design. A recent enhancement of the DS8000 series includes smarter tiering to optimize storage performance and system resources across multiple tiers or within a single tier.  This session will provide an in depth discussion of the IBM System Storage® Easy Tier® feature in a z/OS environment.  Learn more about how Easy Tier monitors data throughput and automates placement of data across the appropriate drive tiers to optimize current workload requirements.  Also learn how you can use the IBM DS8000 Storage Tier Advisor, an easy-to-use tool that can help determine which volumes are likely candidates for Easy Tier optimization by analyzing the performance of their current application workloads.
