SVC and Storwize V7000 Real time Compression

Last month IBM released the 6.4 code for SVC and V7000. The main feature this code release introduced was Real time Compression (RtC). Being over at Storage Bootcamp in IBM Montpellier last week I got the chance to perform some testing on RtC, global mirror with change tracking on SVC & V7000 and creating automated migration policies for file systems on V7000U (Blog posts on global mirror with change tracking and automated migration policies for file systems will be posted up soon)
