The DS4500 coupled with the EXP700 Expansion Unit, offers you an industry-standard, highly available, high-performance storage solution that scales in capacity and performance within a wide range of SAN environments.

The IBM TotalStorage DS4000 family of storage products offers an ideal set of building blocks for your Fibre Channel (FC)-based storage area network (SAN), whether you are just starting out, or expanding your existing network. The DS4000 product family is very scalable from 36 GBs to over 32 TBs of capacity per DS4000 Midrange Disk system. It is easy to install and manage utilizing the Storage Manager which is included with every DS4000 storage product. The DS4000 family of products offers various controller models at different performance and price points to best match your SAN needs. Multiple DS4000 Midrange Disk systems can be centrally managed from a common DS4000 management console across your existing LAN infrastructure, and with the DS4000 advanced copy service functions, such as Flashcopy and Remote Mirror, your data protection and disaster recovery needs can be addressed.

The key benefits of the DS4000 Midrange Disk systems are:

  • High availability - dual processor and redundant hardware
  • Scalability - from 36 GBs to over 32 TBs
  • Performance - world class throughput to best match your applications needs
  • Advanced functions for business continuance - Flashcopy and Remote Mirror

IBM TotalStorage DS4500 Midrange Disk System

The DS4500 offers higher performance capabilities with all of the high availability and scalability features you have come to expect with the DS4000. It is a 4U-rack mountable enclosure that contains, dual RAID controllers and multiple SAN connectivity options used in conjunction with up to 16 of the EXP700 Expansion Units to provide a complete solution for your storage needs.

Key elements of the DS4500 are:

  • Dual, high-performance RAID controller cards, each with two 2 Gbps host ports

  • Support for RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, and 10

  • 2 GB of write-back cache, 1 GB per controller, with battery backup protection for up to three days

  • Support for up to 224 disk drives with EXP700 Expansion Units, over 32 TB of capacity

  • DS4000 Storage Manager V8.3 with support for 16 storage partitions, option to expand to 64 storage partitions

  • Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and cooling fan assemblies

  • Attachment to a wide range of industry-standard SAN switches and directors

The DS4500 utilizes the latest 2 Gbps Fibre Channel technology for connections to host servers or switched SAN fabrics, and to disk drive enclosures. On the DS4500 host interface, there are two host-side miniHUBs standard, each providing a 2 Gbps FC attachment to each of the RAID controllers. Optionally, up to two additional miniHUBs (#3507) can be added, doubling the host attachment connectivity. Each host-side miniHUB can be directly attached to a switched fabric or to a host server's Fibre Channel host bus adapter using either shortwave Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) optical convertors (#2210) for distances up to 300 meters, or longwave optical convertors (#2220) for distance up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). If two SFPs are installed in a host-side miniHUB, a Fibre Channel loop connection is created between the miniHUB and the attached host server. On the DS4500 drive interface, there are two drive-side miniHUBs standard, providing a redundant Fibre Channel loop pair to the dual ported Fibre Channel disk drives within the EXP700 Expansion Units. Optionally, additional miniHUBs (#3507) can be added to the drive-side interface for a second pair of redundant Fibre Channel loops for drive attachment. If attaching more than eight of the maximum of 16 EXP700 Expansion Units, two additional drive-side miniHUBs are required. For optimum performance, it is recommended that all drive-side loops be utilized. The maximum number of host-side connections is eight and drive-side connections is four.

The DS4500 includes the licenses and support to attach to servers running Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 2000, Novell NetWare, Intel-based Linux operating systems. For attachment to pSeries/AIX, Sun/Solaris and HP-UX servers, the following optional features must be ordered to obtain the licenses and support necessary of these operating environments:

DS4000 Storage Manager V8.3

Storage Manager V8.3 is included with the DS4500. The DS4000 Storage Manager provides a GUI for configuring, monitoring, and managing one or more DS4000 storage products. Included with the DS4000 Storage Manager is a license for 16 Storage Partitions allowing up to 16 different hosts or host clusters to attach to the DS4500. Each Storage Partition provides protected data access for only the assigned host servers to the assigned DS4000 logical volumes (or LUNs). An optional feature (#7664) provides a license activation key to increase the number of Storage Partitions up to 64. Each Storage Partition supports up to 32 logical volumes. With the 64 Storage Partition option, the DS4500 supports up to 2048 logical volumes. The Storage Manager provides dynamic array management capabilities to expand logical volumes, add additional disk drives to array groups, and change the RAID segment size or RAID level of an array group without interrupting data availability on the DS4000.

DS4000 Storage Manager V8.4

Storage Manager V8.4 is now available as an optional feature for the DS4500 Midrange Disk System. DS4000 Storage Manager V8.4 is a prerequisite for the VolumeCopy feature.

Advanced Copy Services for Business Continuance

The FlashCopy option (#7301), available for the DS4500, provides a license activation key to enable creating a point-in-time copy of a logical drive within the DS4000. This feature can be combined with various backup or copy applications to provide data protection with nondisruptive data backups.

The VolumeCopy feature (#7303), provides a license activation key to enable the DS4500 to perform a full copy of a FlashCopy logical drive supporting data management, protection and backup needs. This feature requires the FlashCopy feature (#7301) to be activated.

The DS4500 Flash/Volume Copy feature (#7304) provides the licenses and activation keys to enable the function of both FlashCopy and VolumeCopy features.

The Remote Mirror option (#7302), available for the DS4500, provides a license activation key to enable you to maintain a remote mirror copy of a logical volume on another DS4000 Midrange Disk system located at a disaster recovery site. This feature provide a synchronous copy of your primary data across an extended distance, across a Fibre Channel fabric to a secondary site. Remote mirroring can be implemented in both directions between complementary DS4000 Midrange Disk systems, primary data mirror from location to a secondary, and data on different logical volumes mirrored from the secondary site back to the primary. The Remote Mirror feature enables you to protect your critical data from catastrophic loss.
