36 IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide
1.7.1 IBM Storwize V7000
IBM Storwize V7000 is an innovative storage offering that delivers essential storage efficiency
technologies and exceptional ease of use and performance – all integrated into a compact,
modular design. IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node architecture is the same as that of the
IBM Storwize V7000 and is managed from the IBM Flex System Chassis Management
Module or IBM Flex System Manager node. IBM Storwize V7000 is considered external
storage from a IBM PureFlex System perspective.
There are four levels of integration of Storwize V7000 with IBM Flex System as shown in
Table 1-3
Table 1-3 Levels of integration
For further information on IBM Storwize V7000, refer to Implementing the IBM Storwize
V7000 V6.3, SG24-7938 and:

1.8 Useful websites
By the time this book is being written IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node is pre-leased
and support pages are not yet available. Function and features of the IBM Storwize V7000
and IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node are almost identical. Some useful links for the
IBM Storwize V7000 may be used as an alternative.
