PROGRAMMING ANNOUNCEMENT SEPTEMBER 06, 2005
1.4 TITLE:
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows V5.3 provides
Hierarchical Storage Management for Windows file systems
1.5 Overview
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM (hierarchical storage management)
for Windows V5.3 is a policy-based management system for migrating
windows files in a way that uses storage devices economically and
is transparent to the user.
Individual files, parts of Windows file systems, or complete file
systems are migrated to an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server.
Migrated files appear on the local file system as they did before
they were migrated, except they occupy less disk space. Migrated
files can be accessed like any other file, opened and updated.
As part of the IBM TotalStorage Open Software Family, IBM Tivoli
Storage Manager HSM for Windows helps free administrators and users
from manual file system pruning tasks. It is designed to defer the
need to purchase additional disk storage by automatically and
transparently migrating rarely accessed files to less-expensive
offline or near-line storage, while the files most frequently used
remain in the local file system.
1.6 Key prerequisites
Refer to Hardware and software requirements section.
1.7 At a glance
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows is designed to:
o Migrate Windows files based on their file name, as well as
their creation, accessed, and modified dates.
o Transparently recall files to the original host system.
o Provide cost-efficient storage capacity management, based on
rule-driven migration policies.
o Use a Tivoli Storage Manager server for reliable multiple tiers
of storage.
o Interoperate with Tivoli Storage Manager backup and recovery
functions.

1.11 Description
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows provides space
management for Windows file systems.
With a graphical user interface (GUI), IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
HSM for Windows allows administrators to define migration policies.
The file system can be browsed, and parts of the directory
structure can be excluded or included from a migration policy. For
each selection, filters can be applied to include or exclude files
based on the file type (extension) and various criteria related to
the age of a file (creation, modification, last access).
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows supports IBM Tivoli
Storage Manager as a back-end repository, and so complements the
IBM Storage Management offerings.
System administrators who are struggling with growing Windows files
servers will find IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows a
welcomed relief. IT managers can build automation around business
policy for file migrating, improve productivity, and decrease
costs.
1.12 Product positioning
A significant portion of storage capacity consumption is due to
inactive data. As overall storage costs continue to grow, IT
managers are looking for more efficient ways to store this data.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows is designed to control
storage growth by providing methods for movement of inactive files
to a hierarchy of lower-cost storage, which can result in:
o Improved application availability
o Optimized storage resource utilization
o Enhanced storage personnel productivity
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows, complements IBM Tivoli
Storage Manager. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows
provides similar functionality to that of EMC Legato DiskXtender
and Veritas Enterprise Vault. The benefits of IBM Tivoli Storage
Manager HSM for Windows include:
o Simple installation
o Ease of use
o Policy-based, automatic migration
o Transparent recall
o Flexible definitions of migration options

1.19 IBM Tivoli Enhanced Value-Based Pricing
IBM Tivoli software products are priced using a managed-environment
approach whereby price is determined by the amount of storage
capacity under management rather than the number and type of
product components installed.
This licensing model can provide the customer flexibility to deploy
these software products within its environment in a manner that can
address and respond to the customer's evolving architecture. That
is, as the architecture of a customer's environment changes, the
customer's implementation of these products can be altered as
needed without affecting the customer's license requirements (as
long as the customer does not exceed its entitlements to the
software).
1.19.1 IBM Tivoli Enhanced Value-Based Pricing Terminology Definitions
Capacity - Primary HSM disk storage pool size combined with the
amount of utilized HSM removable media storage pool. Storage pools
are configured on the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server.
Capacity notes:
o Capacity does not include:
- copy storage pools for the space-managed data that reside
on disk.
- copy storage pools for the space-managed data that reside
on removable media.
- Space used on the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server for any
purpose other than the primary storage of space-managed
data.
- Disk on the host being space managed.
o A virtual tape library (VTL) is considered a removable media
device and thus capacity is based on utilization.
o The minimum amount of capacity that can be purchased is 1 TB.
o Partial capacity will be rounded up to the next whole number of
TB.
o Additional capacity must be added in increments of 1 TB
Terabyte (T/TB) = 2 raised to the power of 40 bytes =
1,099,511,627,776 bytes.

A complete list of products and licensing documents is available at
Web site
http://www.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products
1.19.2 Passport Advantage
Through the Passport Advantage Agreement, customers may receive
discounted pricing based on their total volume of eligible
products, across all IBM brands, acquired worldwide. The volume is
measured by determining the total "Passport Advantage points value"
of the applicable acquisition(s). Passport Advantage points are
only used for calculating the entitled Passport Advantage discount.
To determine the required Tivoli product configuration under
Passport Advantage, the Tivoli Enhanced Value-Based Pricing Model
applies. The customer's environment is evaluated on a per-product
basis.
Use the following two-step process to determine the total "Passport
Advantage points value":
1. Analyze the customer environment to determine the number of
charge units for a product. The quantity of each product's
part number(s) to be ordered is determine by that analysis.
2. Order the Passport Advantage part number(s). A Passport
Advantage point value, which is the same worldwide for a
specific part number regardless of where the order is placed,
is assigned to each Tivoli product part number. The Passport
Advantage point value for the applicable part number multiplied
by the quantity for that part number will determine the
Passport Advantage points for that Tivoli product part number.
The sum of these Passport Advantage points determines the
"Passport Advantage point value" of the applicable Tivoli
product authorizations which then may be aggregated with the
point value of other applicable Passport Advantage product
acquisitions to determine the total "Passport Advantage points
value".
The discounted pricing available through Passport Advantage is
expressed in the form of Suggested Volume Prices (SVPs), which vary
depending on the SVP level. Each SVP level is assigned a minimum
total Passport Advantage point value, which must be achieved, in
order to qualify for that SVP level.
Media packs and documentation packs do not carry Passport Advantage
points and are not eligible for SVP discounting.
For additional information on Passport Advantage, refer to the
following Web site
http://www.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage
The following Passport Advantage part number categories may be
orderable:
o License and Software Maintenance 12 Months - this is the
product authorization with maintenance to the first anniversary
date.
o Annual Software Maintenance Renewal - this is the maintenance
renewal for one anniversary that applies when a customer renews
their existing coverage period prior to the anniversary date at
which it expires.
o Software Maintenance Reinstatement 12 months - this is for
customers who have allowed their Software Maintenance to
expire, and later wish to reinstate their Software Maintenance.
o Media packs - these are the physical media, such as CD-ROMs,
that deliver the product's code.
o Documentation packs - these contain printed documentation such
as the User's Guide and Release Notes.
1.19.3 Pricing Examples
Purchase Scenario 1: A customer wants to space manage 4.25 TB of
files from six Microsoft Windows file servers. This means 4.25 TB
of files will be migrated from their current location to the IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager server's primary HSM storage pools. The
migrated files will be replaced with references to the original
file. The data in the primary HSM storage pools will be copied for
off-site protection to a copy pool. The customer has designated
0.25 TB of disk for an HSM disk storage pool, 4 TB for a HSM
removable media storage pool, and 6 TB of removable media for a
copy storage pool.
The customer needs to purchase 5 TB of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
HSM for Windows.

|----------------+-----------------+----------------+----------------|
Purchase Scenario 2 (additional capacity): A customer had
purchased 5 TB of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows. Over
the last 12 months the customer consumed the 5 TB of HSM capacity
they purchased initially in addition to an additional 1 TB. Over
the next 12 months they expect the amount of space managed data
will grow to 9 TB total. They will continue to keep the 0.25 TB
for the HSM disk storage pool and thus store the remaining 8.75 TB
in the removable media storage pool.
The customer should purchase an additional 4 TB of IBM Tivoli
Storage Manager HSM for Windows
