Each Storwize V5000 Disk Control Enclosure has the ability to attach and manage external storage devices. Storwize Family Software for Storwize V5000 External Data Virtualization Software, must be licensed to authorize use of this function.

A storage enclosure externally managed by the Storwize V5000 is defined as an independently powered, channel-attached device that stores data on magnetic disks or solid-state drives, such as disk controllers and their respective expansion units, each constituting separate enclosures. Therefore, an enclosure can be either the main controller housing disk or solid-state drives, or the expansion chassis that houses additional disk or solid-state drives for the purpose of expanding the total capacity of the storage system.

Storwize Family Software improves Easy Tier capabilities to allow for up to three tiers of storage. Easy Tier users can now define their tiers making it possible to turn on Easy Tier between more than just solid-state devices and hard disk drives. These Easy Tier capabilities offer more alternatives for optimizing the storage you use.
