IBM TotalStorage DS400 Storage Subsystem

IBM TotalStorage DS400 Storage Subsystem is an entry level, cost effective workgroup storage subsystem for xSeries customers. Offering high value SCSI disk drive technology with performance oriented FC host fabric ports, the solution can be used in either DAS or SAN environments for shared storage. The TotalStorage DS400 subsystem uses a rack-mountable 3U, 14 U320 SCSI drive enclosure with redundant hot-swap power and cooling modules. Additionally, the enclosure supports either one or two controllers for high availability configurations. Each controller supports two 2 Gb FC ports for high bandwidth and redundant data paths. Where additional capacity is required, the external SCSI channels can be enabled to expand to up to two additional EXP400 storage enclosures for a total of 40 disk drives or 5.8 TB, using 146 GB drives.

Advanced software features

Advanced software features including access control lists and online array and LUN expansion provide the flexibility to configure storage according to your usage needs while also providing the ability to grow storage on the fly. These features enable IT managers to share storage across multiple application servers. Optional software features, such as Flashcopy and Metro Mirror, are made available through software keys which can be purchased separately. Flashcopy technology can reduce storage backup windows and improve storage utilization by isolating a separate point in time volume which can be mounted and used for backup to tape, nearline storage, or report generation with little or no impact to production data. Metro mirroring capabilities enable improved disaster recovery implementations to help protect critical data.

Storage Management

Storage management via IBM ServeRAID Manager is easy to use, allowing you to manage the DS400 subsystem, and direct attach ServeRAID storage with the same management console. The intuitive management GUI contains many useful features including product specific configuration wizards to simplify initial storage setup, and an extensive online help library. IBM ServeRAID Manager supports the most common operating environments for workgroup applications, including Windows, and Linux.

IBM TotalStorage DS400 Storage Subsystem

IBM TotalStorage DS400 Storage Subsystem delivers simplified storage expansion for xSeries customers.

An entry level Fibre Channel storage subsystem for xSeries customers offering workgroup storage with advanced functionality. Details on the solution follows:

Highlights of IBM TotalStorage DS400 Storage Subsystem include:

  • Cost effective storage for higher performing Fibre Channel storage fabrics

  • Fibre Channel subsystem for workgroup storage applications such as email servers, collaborative databases, and web serving

  • Modular design allows easy upgrades and additions to match the application environment as it evolves

  • Single and Dual controller configurations

  • Easy to use IBM ServeRAID Manager provides common management software for IBM TotalStorage DX 200 Storage Subsystem and ServeRAID PCI RAID products

  • "Enterprise-class" software features for business continuance and disaster recovery, at entry level prices

  • Scalable to 5.8 TB by attaching up to two additional EXP400 enclosures

  • Leverages investment in EXP400 enclosure for affordable DAS to SAN migration

The IBM TotalStorage DS400 Storage Subsystem is an entry level, cost effective workgroup storage subsystem for xSeries customers. Offering high value SCSI disk drive technology with performance oriented FC host fabric ports, the solution can be used in either DAS or SAN environments for shared storage. The TotalStorage DS400 subsystem uses a rack-mountable 3U, 14 U320 SCSI drive enclosure with redundant hot-swap power and cooling modules. Additionally, the enclosure supports either one or two controllers for high availability configurations. Each controller supports two 2Gb FC ports for high bandwidth and redundant data paths. Where additional capacity is required, the external SCSI channels can be enabled to expand to up to two additional EXP400 storage enclosures for a total of 40 disk drives or 5.8 TB, using 146GB drives.

Advanced Software Features

Advanced software features including access control lists and online array and LUN expansion provide the flexibility to configure storage according to customer usage needs while also providing the ability to grow storage on the fly. These features enable IT managers to share storage across multiple application servers. Optional software features such as Flashcopy and Metro Mirror are made available through software keys which can be purchased separately. Flashcopy technology can reduce storage backup windows and improve storage utilization by isolating a separate point in time volume which can be mounted and used for backup to tape, nearline storage, or report generation with little or no impact to production data. Metro Mirror capabilities enable improved disaster recovery implementations to help protect critical data.

Storage Management

Storage management via IBM ServeRAID Manager is easy to use, allowing customers to manage the DS400 subsystem, and direct attach ServeRAID storage with the same management console. The intuitive management GUI contains many useful features including product specific configuration wizards to simplify initial storage setup, and an extensive online help library. IBM ServeRAID Manager supports the most common operating environments for workgroup applications, including Windows, and Linux.
