As a business matures, so does the amount of data and the value of the data that it holds within the organization. If the data is distributed across servers and individual storage systems, the business will face increased cost and complexity along with the accompanying business risks.

With SAS and SATA drive Intermix support, the DS3400 can be optimized with the right workload demand utilizing the appropriate drive technology. The DS3400 offers the opportunity to meet the demands of data expansion, data availability and flexibility in a simple, affordable disk system.
Select configurations of the DS3400 are part of the IBM Express Portfolio™, designed and priced to meet the needs of mid-sized businesses. The Express models combine the DS3400 storage system with the FC cables and SFP transceivers to help you get started with storage quickly.
