Storage system comparison: IBM Storwize V7000 vs. EMC VNX5500

Organisations must continue to deal with growing data storage requirements, while doing more with less. The growing adoption of storage-as-a-service, business intelligence, and big data results in ever more service-level agreements (SLA) that are difficult to fulfil without IT administrators spending longer hours in the datacentre. This Edison research paper compares the relative complexity and ease-of-use of management consoles for two storage systems built for mid-sized organizations: IBM Storwize V7000 and EMC VNX5500.
