text: **Storwize V7000 performance overview**
  
  Storage virtualization with the IBM Spectrum Virtualize provides many administrative benefits. 
  In addition, it can provide an increase in performance for some workloads. The caching 
  capability of the IBM Spectrum Virtualize and its ability to stripe volumes across multiple disk 
  arrays can provide a performance improvement over what can otherwise be achieved when 
  midrange disk subsystems are used. 
  
  To ensure that the performance levels of your system are maintained, monitor performance 
  periodically to provide visibility to potential problems that exist or are developing so that they 
  can be addressed in a timely manner.
