You want your computer systems to enable you to achieve real business results—growth, profit, productivity, differentiation, market expansion. Driven by the pressure to cut costs and grow—simultaneously—you seek new ideas that will allow you to protect your investment in existing technology while driving innovation with new technological advancements.
IBM System Storage
More than ever, the IBM of 2008 is your innovation partner. From IBM’s perspective, innovation is much more than invention. Innovation is about becoming more collaborative and global. IBM can bring together the broadest range of capabilities—the skills, systems, software, services, financing, technology and partnerships—to help you realize innovation.
Your data growth challenges your operational efficiency as you strive to protect business critical information. The DR550 is designed as an innovative information retention solution to manage growth, reduce business, increase efficiency and support compliance. The new DR550 v4.5 offers simplified ordering, service and support. Leveraging true storage tiers (disk, tape and optical) within its archive, DR550 offers lower TCO for the long-term and protects information integrity with policy-based retention and industry-leading encryption options.
The IBM System Storage™ SAN768B is a next generation high-performance, high-density and high-availability SAN director designed to be the foundation for large enterprise-class infrastructure simplification. Previous Brocade-type switches were limited to 4 Gbs speeds; the SAN768B can be configured with an 8Gb blade and 8 Gb switches. The technology advancements of the SAN768B can serve as both the core or edge building block in an IBM b-type fabric or as a high-density stand-alone director, helping provide investment protection and configuration flexibility.
The IBM System Storage N7000 series systems are intended to help IT organizations tackle the challenge of effective data management using virtualization technology and a unified storage architecture. The N7000 series is designed to deliver high-end enterprise storage, scalable capacity to over 1.1 Petabytes and data management value with midrange affordability. Built-in enterprise serviceability and manageability features help support your efforts to increase reliability, simplify and unify storage infrastructure and maintenance, and deliver exceptional economy.
IBM expertise in external storage system development was the intellectual ground work for the IBM System Storage DS3300. Now IBM announces an expansion of the DS3000 series to include a dc-powered model of the DS3300 iSCSI storage controllers that is well-suited for use in Telco industry environments. The DS3300 iSCSI controllers are designed to enable users to utilize their existing IP infrastructure to deploy networked storage.
