IBM XIV Storage System
IBM offers a mid-sized configuration of its self-optimizing, self-healing, resilient disk solution,
the IBM XIV® Storage System, storage reinvented for a new era. Now, organizations with
mid-size capacity requirements can take advantage of the latest IBM technology for their
most demanding applications with as little as 27 TB of usable capacity and incremental
upgrades. For more information about XIV, see:

IBM System Storage DS8000
The IBM System Storage DS8000® family is designed to offer high availability, multiplatform
support, and simplified management tools. With its high capacity, scalability, broad server
support, and virtualization features, the DS8000 family is well suited for simplifying the
storage environment by consolidating data from multiple storage systems on a single system.
The high-end model DS8800 is the most advanced model in the IBM DS8000 family lineup
and introduces new dual IBM POWER6-based controllers that usher in a new level of
performance for the company’s flagship enterprise disk platform. The DS8800 offers twice the
maximum physical storage capacity than the previous model. For more information about the
DS8000 family, see:

2.12 Hardware Management Console
The Hardware Management Console (HMC) is a dedicated workstation that provides a
graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring, operating, and performing basic system tasks
for the POWER7 processor-based systems (and the POWER5, POWER5+, POWER6, and
POWER6+ processor-based systems) that function in either non-partitioned or clustered
environments. In addition, the HMC is used to configure and manage partitions. One HMC is
capable of controlling multiple POWER5, POWER5+, POWER6, and POWER6+, and
POWER7 processor-based systems.
Several HMC models are supported to manage POWER7 processor-based systems. Two
models (7042-C08, 7042-CR6) are available for ordering at the time of writing, but you can
also use one of the withdrawn models listed in Table 2-37.
