* Usable capacity after factoring in disk space used by mirroring for redundancy, spares, and metadata
** Feature code 1101 provides interface modules containing dual CPUs

Functionality
Data Protection
  • Active-active with N+1 redundancy on disks, modules, switches and UPS units
  • Non-disruptive hardware and firmware upgrades
  • Remote mirroring and flexible restore
  • Differential snapshots with near-zero performance overhead
    • Up to 16,000 snapshots
    • Instant create, modify, restore
    • Writable snapshots
    • “Snap on snap”
    • Differential snapshots with near-zero performance overhead
  •  Self-healing: Rapid rebuild time after disk and module failure
Features (fully bundled with hardware)
  • LDAP authentication
  • Thin provisioning
  • Data migration
  • Storage management
  • Native multi-path support
  • Support for Tivoli® Productivity Center 4.1 and Tivoli Storage Management (TSM 6.1 ACS, TSM 6.1 CS)
 
Host Connectivity
  • Fibre Channel rates: 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, 4 Gbps
  • iSCSI over Gigabit Ethernet
  • SCSI-3 protocol for both FC and iSCSI)



 
*After taking into account capacity used by mirroring (redundancy), spares, and metadata.
