Description : IBM DS3200 and DS3400 Storage Controllers

DEC 08

IBM DS3000 solutions support the large and growing data storage requirements of business-critical applications. These scalable IBM DS3000 solutions offer you data access and protection to meet your existing storage requirements and prepare for the future.

The IBM System Storage DS3200 Storage Subsystems (machine type 1726, Models 21X, 22X) are designed to provide solutions to meet the needs of midrange/departmental storage requirements, delivering high performance, advanced function, high availability, modular and scalable storage capacity, with Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connectivity and support for RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5, and 10.

A 2U rack-mountable enclosure houses the DS3200 redundant, dual, or single -active RAID controllers with up to four SAS ports per controller for attachment of host servers and EXP3000 storage expansion enclosures with up to 12 3-Gbps SAS drives.

The DS3200 supports attachment of up to three EXP3000 storage expansion enclosures, resulting in the capability to connect to up to 48 disk drives and enabling storage configurations of over 14.4 TB using 300 GB SAS hard drives. The DS3200 supports configurations of SAS disks. Advanced DS3000 storage management and copy service options functions are available for the DS3200, including FlashCopy and VolumeCopy.

The DS3200 supports up to three hosts in a redundant direct attached SAS configuration.

The DS3000 Storage Manager client is also available for the DS3200. This storage management software is designed to help centralize storage management, help simplify partitioning of the DS3000 series storage into as many as 16 virtual servers, and strategically allocate storage capacity to maximize storage space.

It supports high-availability functions, such as redundant and hot pluggable power supplies and fans.

IBM System Storage DS3200 storage enclosure supports easy customer servicing. Most replaceable items and components are easily accessible for replacement from either the front or the back.

The System Storage DS3200 and DS3400
enclosures offer :

Twelve easily accessible drive bays Support for SAS and FC technology, which offers enhanced performance and flexible expandability over SCSI technology 2U rack mount enclosure Scalability of up to 3.6 TB of storage capacity with 300 GB hot-swappable SAS disks Two miniSAS connectors on a standard single or four on dual FC ESM, to connect to System x servers Redundant and hot pluggable power supplies and fans Supports RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, and 10
