THE CHALLENGE:
Easy data management in a "scale-out" data center
The promise of scaling out a data center with small, low-cost servers has led to an unintended consequence-"stranded storage" from internal disks or directly attached storage (DAS) solutions. IT professionals today are now overwhelmed by the amount of data they have to manage. They are challenged by the need to keep pace with their companies' growing business, improve backup and restore effectiveness, implement disaster recovery solutions and not overwhelm their IT staff, often on a shoestring budget.
THE SOLUTION:
IBM System Storage N3000 modular disk storage system helps simplify data management
The IBM N3000 systems are designed to provide primary and secondary storage for midsize enterprises. Consolidating all their fragmented application-based storage and unstructured data into one unified, easily managed and expandable platform can help IT generalists increase their effectiveness. N3000 systems offer integrated block- and file-level data access, intelligent management software and data protection capabilities-like higher-end N series systems-in a cost-effective package. IBM N series innovations include Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) drive support, expandable I/O connectivity and onboard remote management.
The IBM N3000 is compatible with the entire family of N series unified storage systems, which feature a comprehensive line-up from top-to-bottom of hardware and software designed to address a variety of possible deployment environments.
The N3300 squeezes 3.6 TBs of physical capacity into a 2U enclosure with optional external expansion for an additional 21 TBs of physical capacity. The N3600 scales up to 69 TBs by supporting up to 104 disk drives. Whether for primary or secondary storage use, the N3000 systems are intended to provide outstanding deployment versatility and connectivity to help satisfy your data protection and recovery needs.
