NAS

IBM Real-time Compression Appliances are the only storage compression solutions that can shrink primary, online data in real time, without performance degradation. By significantly reducing storage requirements, organisations can keep up to five times more information online for analytics, use the improved efficiency to reduce storage costs, or achieve a combination of greater capacity and reduced cost.

• Platform supportedIBM STN6500 sits between Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems using UNIX® (NFS) and Microsoft Windows® (CIFS) protocols and the network switches, for completely transparent operations.

• Disk capacitySTN6500 has sixteen 1 Gb Ethernet ports, which supports eight connections between NAS systems and network switches.

• Storage MgmtRequires no software drivers, and no changes to server, application, or storage configurations.

The IBM System Storage N3000 Express systems are designed to provide primary and secondary storage for mid-size enterprises, consolidating fragmented application-based storage and unstructured data into one single-code system. Easily managed and expandable, this platform can help IT generalists increase their effectiveness. N3000 Express systems offer integrated data access, intelligent management software and data protection capabilities – like higher-end System Storage N series models – in a cost-effective package. N3000 Express series innovations include internal controller support for serial attached SCSI (SAS) or serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) drives, expandable input/output (I/O) connectivity and onboard remote management.
