System Storage DCS3700

Highlights

• 6 Gbps SAS high density storage system delivering scalable capacity at an affordable price point
• Ideally suited for high performance streaming applications, such as rich media, financial markets, telecommunications, weather modeling and others needing rigorous bandwidth requirements
• Combined with IBMs best-in-class General Parallel File System (GPFS), the new DCS3700 can help organizations optimize the flow and management of large file-based data, while retaining ease of data access
• Built on over 30 years of IBMs best-of-breed technology, the DCS3700 meets the most demanding data growth requirements with dense capacity packaging (up to 30 TB per U)

• Management expertise built into an intuitive and powerful storage management software
• Combined with the best-in-class IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS), the new DCS3700 can help organizations optimize the flow and management of large file-based data, while retaining ease of data access.
• Superior serviceability and easy installation with front load 12-drive drawers which can be extended while drives remain active allowing for individual drive replacement without affecting the operation of other drives.
• Multilevel data protection with IBM FlashCopy, Volume Copy and Remote Mirroring across Fiber Channel
• Energy saving implementations for cost savings today and tomorrow with a high density enclosure, power supplies designed with multiple efficiency standards, and variable speed fans.
• Mixed host interfaces support DAS and SAN tiering to reduce overall operation and acquisition costs.
• Investment protection and cost-effective backup and recovery with remote mirror across Fibre Channel host ports and compatibility with DS3500, DS5000 and DS4000

The era of smarter computing is here, and its being driven by the need for more data and faster data access. Low-latency application performance in applications such as life sciences, real-time analytics, rich media, seismic processing, weather forecasting, telecommunications and financial markets require high-performance storage architectures. In addition, these organizations are often looking for a better way to improve operational efficiency while maintaining the same data center footprint, quality of service and high availability.

The new IBM System Storage DCS3700 meets both an organizations demanding capacity and space restriction demands. Designed for applications with high-performance streaming data requirements, the DCS3700 offers optimal space utilization, low power consumption and high performance. Organizations can now have a storage solution to maximize storage density, reduce operational expenditures and ensure high productivity.

IBM has combined highly available dense storage capabilities and the proven System Storage disk controllers in the DCS3700. With up to 60 SAS drives in just 4U of rack space, the DCS3700 can reduce operational costs for capacity-intensive applications. With up to 4,000 MBps in sustained drive reads, the DCS3700 storage system is equally adept at delivering throughput to bandwidth-intensive applications and IOPs to databases and Microsoft Exchange and other applications. With its simple, efficient and flexible approach to storage, the DCS3700 is a cost-effective, fully integrated complement to IBM System x servers, IBM BladeCenter and IBM Power Systems.
