Multiple 10 GbE and 1 GbE ports
Note: For 1 GbE connectivity only, please see STN6500 |
- Flexible port options
- 10 GbE option: Eight 10 GbE ports, to support four high throughput 10 GbE connections between NAS systems and network switches
- Mixed port option: Four 10 GbE ports and eight 1 GbE ports, to support two 10 GbE connections and four 1 GbE connections between NAS systems and network switches

| Integrated appliance |
- No compression overhead on application servers or storage systems
- Compression occurs before data is sent to the storage system, so both disks and disk system cache can be more efficient
- Appliance cache and read-ahead capability can improve performance
- Agnostic approach supports multiple storage systems and servers
- Easy to order, deploy, and administer
|
| Shrinks data up to 80 percent |
- By significantly reducing storage requirements, organizations can keep up to five times more information online for analytics, use the improved efficiency to reduce storage costs, or a combination of both
- Downstream data, such as backups, copies and archives are also up to 80 percent smaller, increasing storage efficiency throughout the information life cycle
|
| Works in real time, without degrading performance |
- IBM Real-time Compression can be used on most workloads, including active databases, IBM Lotus® Notes®, user file systems and active archives
- Busy systems can see an increase in throughput and user response time because applications don’t wait as long for disk requests
|
| Works on primary, active data |
- Supports multiple workloads without changing user or IT processes
- No extra administrator overhead to decide which data to compress
- One simple solution can replace database compression features that operate differently across brands, and replace old compression processes that can make data harder to access
|
| Automated call home support |
- Autosupport for error reporting and resolution
