The IBM 2145 is the hardware component of IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC). SVC, a member of the IBM Storwize family, is a combined hardware and software storage virtualization system. SVC includes many functions traditionally deployed separately in disk systems and by including these in a virtualization system, SVC standardizes functions across virtualized storage for greater flexibility and potentially lower costs.
