IBM System Storage DS8000 Series

Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Matrix

Last updated: Aug 12, 2009

ISV Interoperability

The information in this matrix identifies products that have been demonstrated to interoperate with the designated

IBM System Storage™ DS8000® series product. It does not indicate that the subject products will work in every

possible configuration. IBM plans to update the interoperability matrix on an ongoing basis as interoperability testing

and certifications are completed

Additional Information about Using DS8000 with Non-IBM Software

The information in this document describes those software configurations that were successfully tested by IBM

and/or vendors. Not every product within a vendor’s product line was tested and not every possible configuration

was tested.

It is also probable that an ISV product not listed or a configuration not identified will interoperate correctly. IBM does

not warrant interoperability functionality or problem resolution of any listed product or of an unlisted product.

IBM does not prohibit other vendor products from being used with IBM’s DS8000 Series products. Removal of

these software additions may be required for Product Support to provide problem determination and resolution of

a DS8000 Hardware issue. Regardless of whether a software program is listed in this document, IBM does not

support other vendors’ software – therefore, IBM Product Support cannot provide telephone, on-site, or

development lab support for vendors’ software. Likewise, IBM Product Support does not provide a single vendor

interface for problem isolation and resolution for other vendors.

For problems in the software that IBM ships pre-installed, IBM may work with IBM’s software suppliers. IBM does not

guarantee that all problems will be resolved. Also, IBM does not guarantee to resolve all problems in IBM-supplied

products that only appear when other (bug-free) non-IBM hardware or software is also used.

Customers should contact the corresponding vendor for related pre-sales and post-sales support issues, as Product

Support can only assist on DS8000 Series specific items. Customers who desire a turnkey multi-vendor support

solution should investigate an IBM Global Services multi-vendor support contract.
