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. Figure 1-4 shows the control enclosure rear view of an IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 enclosure  (the Storwize V5020).
