Benefits |
| Complete testing and integration with IBM System x servers. |
- With its simple, efficient and flexible approach to storage, the EXP2500 Express is a cost-effective, fully integrated complement to System x servers
|
| Support for drive intermix |
- Ability to intermix high-performance Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and nearline SAS drives enables tiered storage
- Cost-effectively supports an organizations complete range of data capacity requirementsfrom nearline to highly utilized applicationswith support for mixed drive types within a single storage system
- Enclosure-based intermixing maximizes efficiency
|
| Nearline SAS drives support |
- Nearline SAS drives are also the clear replacement of Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) drives. Competitively priced to SATA drives, nearline SAS drives significantly outperform SATA and do so with greater reliability
|
| 2.5" and 3.5" drive support |
- Additional drive flexibility supports both high performance and great IOPs/watt requirements
- Tray-level drive intermix cost-effectively meets all application, rack, and energy efficiency requirements within a single storage system
|
| Built-in efficiencies |
- Modular design avoids over-configuration for an affordable entry point while offering seamless pay-as-you-grow scalability as requirements change
- Efficient utilization lowers raw capacity requirements and support for intermixing drives enables tiered storage
- Exceptional per-drive performance creates performance value
|
| Scalability up to 18 enclosures attached to the ServeRAID M5025 |
- Start small, grow big provides the flexibility to scale storage as data needs grow
