The SAN Volume Controller (SVC) is designed to increase the flexibility of your storage infrastructure by enabling changes to the physical storage with minimal or no disruption to applications. Now with expanded support for many non-IBM storage systems, including EMC, HP and HDS, the SAN Volume Controller (SVC) can enable a tiered storage environment to better allow you to match the cost of the storage to the value of your data. The SAN Volume Controller (SVC) combines the capacity from multiple disk storage systems into a single storage pool, which can be managed from a central point. This is simpler to manage and helps increase utilization. It also allows you to apply advanced copy services across storage systems from many different vendors to help further simplify operations. On its sixth release, the SAN Volume Controller (SVC) is now designed to manage even larger and more diverse storage environments.
