Storwize STN-2100 and STN-6000 Series appliances provide online storage optimization through real-time data compression, delivering dramatic cost reduction without performance degradation.

Storwize STN appliances transparently compress primary storage between 50 - 90% without changes in performance, storage, applications, networks, or processes.

STN appliances deliver real-time, random access, deterministic, and lossless data compression, maintaining reliable and consistent performance and data integrity. Storwize helps slow the growth of storage acquisition and related storage life-cycle costs, including reducing the amount of storage to be managed, powered and cooled.

Our Technology: Random Access Compression Engine™ Architecture -

With over 35 patents, Storwize’s Random Access Compression Engine (RACE) Architecture is uniquely positioned to enable significant primary data compression and storage optimization without decreasing performance or data integrity.

Storwize provides enterprises the following benefits:

	Real time data compression between 50 - 90% No performance degradation No loss of data integrity Increases the effective storage cache size
	Fully transparent No change to performance, applications, networks, storage, or process
	High Availability Fully redundant components and deploys seamlessly into high-availability environments
	Storage agnostic NAS protocol support: CIFS, NFS Support for primary storage applications including Oracle and VMware

Customer Impact

Customers worldwide trust Storwize to optimize their storage capacity without compromising performance and to deliver unprecedented cost savings, ROI, operational efficiencies, and environmental benefits:

	Better Storage Utilization Reduces existing storage utilization between 50-90% No performance degradation Maintains data integrity
	Lowers Capital and Operational Costs Slows the growth of storage acquisition Storage agnostic, supports NAS protocols (NFS, CIFS) Reduces the amount of storage to be managed throughout the life cycle Easy, transparent deployment
	Better Energy Efficiency Less to store, power and cool

Reduces Storage Footprint and Costs throughout the entire Data Lifecycle

Because Storwize real-time compression applies data reduction as data is written to primary disk benefits are created throughout the entire data lifecycle because smaller files are migrated, replicated, archived, deduplicated, and backed-up.		Data Reduction for the Entire Lifecycle

Enhances Storage Performance and Efficiency

And, because Storwize operates in real-time and addresses data reduction at the point of origin, less data is physically written to disk so storage systems can operate more efficiently.		Enhancing Storage Performance & Efficiency
