IBM Storage
IBM System Storage N3700
- High availability—Uses proven features
including a high-performing and scalable operating system, data management
software and redundancy features
- Heterogeneous storage access—Designed to
provide networked storage capable of consolidating NAS and iSCSI storage
requirements
- FCP support—Designed for operation in Fibre
Channel SAN environments
- Instant backup and instant recovery—Supports
disk-based backup, with file or application-level recovery in seconds with
Snapshot™ and SnapRestore® software features
- Simple replication and disaster
recovery—Designed to provide an easy-to-deploy mirroring solution that is
highly tolerant of WAN interruptions
- Management simplicity—Designed to enable
on-the-fly provisioning; self-diagnosing systems with automated replacement
parts delivery; self-service file recovery for end users
- Cost effective—FlexVol® can double storage
utilization, and both block and file storage can be consolidated into a single
affordable system
The challenge: Support cost-effective, enterprise-class storage
Corporate workgroups, distributed enterprises and small-to-medium-sized
companies increasingly seek to network and consolidate storage to improve
availability, share information, reduce costs and protect and secure
information. These organizations require enterprise-class solutions that are
capable of addressing immediate storage needs cost-effectively while providing
an upgrade path for future requirements. Ideally, IT managers would like a
maximum degree of flexibility to design the architecture that best supports the
requirements of multiple types of data and a broad range of applications.
The solution: IBM System Storage N3700 storage system
IBM System Storage™ N3700 is designed to offer you fast data access with
extremely low maintenance requirements for a highly capable data storage
solution. The N3700 filer integrates storage and storage processing into a
single unit, facilitating affordable network deployments. These advanced storage
systems use a proven storage architecture and offer standard IBM System Storage
N series elements, including integrated I/O, high availability via clustering
and Fibre Channel and/or SATA disk drives. IBM System Storage N3700 models are
designed to integrate easily into existing IT environments to deliver unified
storage for organizations with NAS, IP SAN via iSCSI protocols, FC SAN via FCP
protocols, or combined environments, making enterprise-level storage a realistic
goal for company sites regardless of size or staffing.
