12 Implementing the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1
1.5 IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 hardware
The IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 solution is a modular storage system that is built on a
common enclosure platform that is shared by the control enclosures and expansion
enclosures.
Figure 1-3 shows an overview of hardware components of the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2
solution.
