IBM System Storage DS3000 series is the new family of storage enclosures
from IBM. The DS3000 series is specifically designed to address the needs
of the small and medium businesses.
The DS3300 iSCSI storage controllers
can help enable users to utilize their existing
IP infrastructure to deploy networked storage.
With many small business IT departments having one or a part-time
administrator,
and limited time to spend on data management,
the DS3000 series is designed to
be easily installed without extensive knowledge or effort.
The DS3000 Storage Manager software was designed for easy implementation
for an unseasoned administrator. The task-oriented management interface
of the DS3000 Storage Manager presents tasks to the administrator first
and then asks which object to perform the task on. Thus, the management
application's task-oriented interface removes the resistance that many
organizations have with moving to an external storage solution.
The scalability of the DS3000 series
helps allow businesses to respond to
their constantly changing storage environment. By starting small, the
DS3000 series
is designed to allow users to make additional investments in their
infrastructure only when their data growth necessitates it. The DS3000
series capacity is increased by either adding hard disk drives or by
expanding the configuration by adding EXP3000 expansion units.
Both of these operations can be done
without having to shut down the storage enclosure. This helps lessen
impact to your environment and gives users
control of their data storage as they expand capacity on an as-needed
basis.
The DS3000 series is a comprehensive storage solution for IBM System
x
and BladeCenter servers. This flexibility helps you to break free of
server barriers and use a single storage solution across your
environment.
With many functionality and availability features that come
standard,
and a
price-point that does not strain the budget, the DS3000 series is the
simple choice for the small and medium businesses.
Many other storage products
require the purchase of expensive options for basic storage
configurations. The DS3000 series is a complete out-of-the-box solution
designed to satisfy most storage needs.
Features
include:
-
2 U
rack mount enclosure with 12 easily accessible drive
bays
- Support for RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, and 10
- Support for
