== History == The IBM XIV Storage System was developed in 2002 by an Israeli start-up company funded and headed by engineer and businessman Moshe Yanai, the team began to work on a revolutionary new grid storage architecture. They devoted three years to developing this unique architecture that they called XIV. They delivered their first system to a customer in 2005. Their product was called Nextra. In December 2007,〔Sherman, Brian. ("IBM XIV Storage System" ), 2009. Retrieved on 2011-09-18.〕 the IBM Corporation acquired XIV, renaming the product the IBM XIV Storage System. The first IBM version of the product was launched publicly on September 8, 2008. Unofficially within IBM this product is called Generation 2 of the XIV. The differences between Gen1 and Gen2 were not architectural, they were mainly physical. New disks were introduced, new controllers, new interconnects, improved management, additional software functions.〔Aussie Storage Blog, July 12, 2011 ("A Brief History of XIV" ) Retrieved December 21, 2011.〕 In September 2011, IBM launched XIV's Gen3, with 2TB and 3TB disk drives, changing the inter-connectivity layer to use Infiniband rather than Ethernet. In 2012-2013 IBM added the support of SSD devices and 10GBE host connectivity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IBM XIV Storage System」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
