The IBM XIV Storage System is a ground-breaking, high-end disk system, designed to support business requirements for a highly available information infrastructure. Built from a grid of standard Intel/Linux components, it is connected in an any-to-any topology by means of massively paralleled, non-blocking Gigabit Ethernet.

IBM XIV applies automated data distribution, unique caching, and other innovations to eliminate hotspots and deliver single-tier storage featuring high-end performance, reliability, availability, and scalability, at exceptionally low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

IBM XIV comes in easily scalable partial to full rack configurations, with full capabilities from the smallest configuration.
