With IBM Real-time Compression, you can now store up to 5 times more data on your existing V7000 Disk Storage System. With compression rates of up 80%, you can make your V7000 work harder for longer before you need to add more disk. The IBM Real-time Compression software is included in the latest firmware release of the IBM Storwize V7000 software and requires a license which you can purchase through Recarta.
