Server designs are increasingly focused on higher performance in the most compact and affordable packaging possible. At the same time, these designs must provide the save and restore compatibility of storage options offered on systems with larger footprints.
The IBM System Storage™ 7212 Storage Device Enclosure Express Model features the latest technology options in tape drives and a DVD-RAM optical drive. The 7212 Express Model packaging is a low-profile, modular design that is an excellent choice for rack-mount or limited-space desktop applications.
