IBM Systems

Customer demand for lightning-fast communication and transactions has driven the need for
universal commitment to e-business. No matter what industry, or what size company, success
today hinges on building a high-performance, responsive infrastructure that embraces open
standards—exactly what you will find in the IBM Systems product portfolio. Investments in
servers often result in demands on disk and tape storage systems. IBM has a family of storage
offerings that complements the IBM Systems product portfolio. There is no better storage offer­ing for IBM Systems than an IBM System Storage product. These offerings are tested and sup­ported by IBM and are backed by outstanding IBM service and support.

IBM System Storage Proven Program Helps Simplify
Interoperability

Overview

The IBM System Storage Proven™ program has been designed on a simple premise: give cus­tomers the ability to select the best combination of interoperable storage technologies to help
minimize their investment risk, increase business efficiency and expedite their infrastructure
implementation.

The IBM System Storage Proven program is all about leveraging IBM storage with business
applications, ISV and Business Partner software, and market leading hardware components
which together deliver solutions that address today’s client needs.

Customer Benefits

Pre-qualified configurations

Customers will be better able to identify a variety of pre-qualified, interoperable storage ele­ments. By taking pre-qualified applications and hardware and combining them with IBM storage
technology a client can have an easier time identifying solutions that address their storage
needs.

IBM Business Partner Benefits

Potential for reduced sales cycle and integration issues

For IBM Business Partners, the IBM System Storage Proven program is intended to help reduce
the sales cycle and integration issues, allowing more time for higher margin customization.
Another added value for IBM Business Partners is the interoperability qualification program
where companies work together with IBM, which can help supports their ability to develop and
deliver products or solutions that interoperate with the broad portfolio of IBM System Storage
products.

Please visit the System Storage Proven Web site at ibm.com/storage/proven to view more
than five hundred available products and solutions from over three hundred participating compa­nies to meet your storage needs.

IBM Business Partner Innovations Centers (BPIC)

More than 140 worldwide IBM TotalStorage Solution Centers can deliver one-stop shopping for
storage hardware, software and consulting services. The Solution Centers offer you both a local
venue for hands-on testing of IBM storage solutions and a platform for proof-of-concept and
benchmarking activities. These centers also work with the leading storage software providers to
