| Up to 60 nearline SAS drives in 4U |
- Highly dense storage to maximize rack space efficiency and reduce cost: 60 nearline SAS drives in 4U, expandable to 180 drives
- Lower overall annual energy expenditures: 30TB per U provides highly efficient enclosures
|
| Redundant, hot-swappable components |
- Fully redundant components, automated I/O path failover and online administration create always-on availability to ensure your data is always accessible
- Front load 12-drive drawers can be extended while drives remain active
|
| 6 Gbps SAS host interface |
- Improve bandwidth utilization, management and network robustness
- Second-generation, 6 Gbps SAS builds upon the solid foundation of 3 Gbps SAS with performance improvements and reliability enhancements.
- With direct attachment support and the capability to be shared by multiple host servers, the DCS3700 with SAS provides ease-of-use and simplicity at an affordable price.
|
| 8 Gbps FC host interface |
- Fibre Channel, a mature and proven technology now available at 8 Gbps is the host interface of choice for high performance environments.
- The DCS3700 with Fibre Channel allows you to exploit the benefits offered by a SAN environment.
|
| Backup and Replication capabilities |
- Multilevel data protection with FlashCopy and Volume Copy to create logical or physical copies of data for file restoration and backup
- Remote Mirroring to provide storage system-based data replication from one DCS3700 system to another DCS3700 system using either synchronous or asynchronous data transfers over Fibre Channel communication links
|
| RAID levels and storage partitions |
- RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, and 10 to give you the flexibility to choose the level of protection required
- Storage partitions that logically divide a single DCS3700 into multiple systems to manage volume-to-host access
|
| Intuitive IBM DS Storage Manager |
- Designed to ensure optimal storage utilization, the IBM DS Storage Manager provides a powerful, yet easy-to-use and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) for DCS3700 administrative activities. This includes configuration, reconfiguration, expansion, and routine maintenance, as well as performance tuning and management of advanced functions.
|
| Energy saving features |
- The DCS3700 was developed with energy savings features, such as power supplies designed to meet multiple efficiency standards and variable speed fans, to help reduce power consumption and provide a lower overall total cost of ownership. And with 60 drives housed within just a 4U enclosure, the DCS3700 is optimized for maximum storage density.
