Storage
IBM is a leader in the storage market with a continuum of storage products that are suitable for the smallest distributed server and the largest data centers.  Glacier is able to provide any of these IBM SAN and NAS storage solutions, underpinned by our expertise in designing and configuring solutions to meet availability, cost and growth requirements.
 
Disk Storage
The IBM TotalStorage range offers a broad family of disk storage solutions that provide the freedom and choices to best match the value of data with most appropriate storage.  In addition, they can simplify storage infrastructures while meeting availability requirements and improving on information life cycle management.  The options include exceptional solutions for workgroup storage applications such as email, file, print servers, as well as collaborative databases and remote boot for diskless servers.

IBM TotalStorage high-performance, high-capacity disk solutions are among the most reliable, scalable and interoperable in the industry, designed to deliver resiliency and total value for the most demanding storage environments. With high-availability, multi-platform support, a broad range of open operating system support and comprehensive management tools, these solutions can adjust to solve even the most complicated on-demand storage challenges

The IBM SAN solutions offer multi-protocol local, campus, metropolitan and global storage networking options to cater for any SAN requirement.

Tape Storage
IBM's Range of tape drives and tape libraries are able to meet every backup requirement.  The tape libraries are designed to support the IBM LTOtm Ultrium (R) LTO3 and LTO 4 drives. The IBM "Jaguar" 3592 J1A is supported on the enterprise models. We are able to provide the low form factor TS3100, the popular and scalable TS3310 and the high end TS3500. The IBM Virtual Tape Library can greatly improve backup times along with a ream of benefits normally associated with disk storage solutions.

  Whether your requirements include Tape drive encryption, a long term highly scalable infrastructure, a partitionable library, high availability, virtualisation or ease of management, we can configure a solution that will meet these needs.

Don't forget the media - you will need labelled tapes. Whatever your technology flavour of choice, we can provide it to you.

Management and Backup Software
TSM
A successful and well run backup and recovery plan is a foundation stone of any organisations disaster recovery plan.  Tivoli Storage Manager has always challenged the traditional backup paradigms with its incremental forever approach to backups.

With its agents for databases, Microsoft Exchange and SAP, it is possible to perform online backups using the best practices from both the application vendor and IBM.  Need continuous data protection ? CDP is the answer as it integrates seamlessly with TSM.

TPC
Use TotalStorage Productivity Center to reduce the TCO of managing large storage environments. TPC combines the assets, capacity, performance and operational management, traditionally offered by separate Storage Resource Management, SAN Management and Device Management applications into a single platform.

Storage Virtualisation
With IBM System Storage™ SAN Volume Controller (SVC) your storage system administrator can pool storage volumes from IBM and non-IBM storage systems into a single reservoir of capacity for centralized management. This can reduce requirements for additional physical storage hardware systems, thereby reducing overall energy usage in your data center, improve IO response times due to its significant redundant cache, and allow for seamless integration and migration of data between different storage platforms.  This is the ultimate tool to enable a tiered storage architecture.
