Technical Description
|
Today the need to easily store and manage a rapidly growing volume of
data is common across a wide range of businesses. Large enterprises,
departments, branch offices, small businesses, and even professionals
like doctors and lawyers, need to store and retrieve the files generated
during their daily activities. Contributing to the increased volume are
the types of files being now stored. The file types have evolved from
the commonplace word-processing, spreadsheet and presentations files to
larger more sophisticated files, such as digital pictures, x-rays, and
multimedia files.
These IBM eServer Storage Server products offer a broad range of
affordable network attached file server solutions designed to address
these storage needs. These new offerings combine IBM's proven xSeries
and BladeCenter server hardware technology with Microsoft's Windows
Storage Server** 2003 operating system to provide a an optimized
network attached storage solution. The hardware components are
pre-configured and the operating system is pre-installed enabling rapid
installation and deployment. If your business is faced with the
challenge of storing, managing, and retrieving a growing volume of data,
the IBM eServer Storage Server provides an easy-to-use, reliable network
attached storage solution based on industry-standard components.
The IBM eServer Storage Server products offers the following:
- Affordable and reliable network attached storage solution
- Dedicated and optimized file and print server:
- Microsoft's Windows Storage Server** 2003 has all functionality
unrelated to file serving removed, helping increase reliability and lower
the overhead on the server's processor.
- Industry standard components:
- A broad range of reliable Storage Servers built on the following
hardware platforms: xSeries 206, xSeries 226, xSeries 346, and
BladeCenter HS20 Blade.
- All IBM eServer Storage Server are pre-installed with Microsoft's
Windows** Storage Server 2003 operating system based on Windows Server**
2003.
- Fast installation and deployment:
- The hardware is pre-configured and the operating system is
pre-installed enabling the rapid deployment of new file servers.
- The IBM eServer Storage Servers can be configured remotely making
them ideal for branch office, department and store deployments.
- Easy integration into your existing IT infrastructures:
- Integrates easily into Windows Active Directory** environments.
- Customers can use their existing management tools (such as IBM
Director, Tivoli, Microsoft Systems Management Server) and anti-virus
software which are fully compatible with Microsoft Windows Storage Server
2003, enabling customers to take advantage of their current investments.
- Files can be shared across heterogeneous file system environments and
different operating system platforms through the integration of SMB, NFS,
CIFS, Appletalk, and Netware protocols
- Compatible with existing Ethernet infrastructure
- Easy-to use and manage:
- A web-based easy-to-use GUI provides wizards for setup, configuration
and ongoing management
- Administration and management is performed on devices attached to the
network, either local or remote.
- Full-featured disk quota management and storage utilization
reporting.
- Choice of disk and connectivity technologies:
- Simple-swap Serial ATA, hot-swap SCSI, fibre channel, SCSI and iSCSI
options available.
- Pre-configured hardware-based RAID configurations are standard.
- Potentially lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO):
- IBM eServer Storage Servers provide a cost effective file
consolidation solution in network environment enabling centralization of
storage and storage management.
- No additional licenses are required for users. This can
significantly reduce client access license costs.
- Fast data recovery:
- Using the Shadow Copy of Shared Folders feature, you can restore
deleted or corrupted files within minutes, instead of the hours it can
take to restore from tape. Built on VSS, this feature can store up to 64
point-in-time copies per volume and allows end users to recover previous
versions of files.
- Built-in data "Snapshot" technology. Volume Shadow Copy Services
(VSS) provides enhanced data protection through high-fidelity backups,
rapid data restores, and data transport.
- Gateway function provides integration with SANs:
- The IBM eServer BladeCenter HS20 Storage Server can act as a NAS
gateway enabling the device to integrate into a SAN infrastructure.
The IBM eServer Storage Server provide benefits for large and small
businesses:
- A flexible choice of file server solutions ranging from low-end to
enterprise class storage
- Remote administration and management capability
- Enterprise management integration with IBM Director pre-installed
- Easy integration into existing Ethernet networks

function
IBM eServer xSeries 346 Storage Server
The IBM eServer xSeries 346 Storage Server delivers extreme
performance, availability, and capacity for your Windows-based network
attached file server needs - all in a 2U rack design. It has numerous
high availability features including hot-swap redundant cooling, power
and hard disk drives which provide a robust and reliable platform for
file server requirements. The two-processor capable x346 Storage Server
utilizes the ease of use characteristics of Microsoft Windows Storage
Server 2003 to provide an ideal NAS for a variety of environments, from
large enterprise deployments, to branch offices and small businesses
usage.
The IBM eServer xSeries 346 Storage Server is a dual-processor capable
2U rack optimized server. The base model can be optionally expanded from
a standard uni-processor to a dual processor server for environments
requiring additional processing capability. The IBM eServer xSeries 346
Storage Server features the latest Intel Xeon processor, 2MB L2 Cache,
EM64T technology and an 800MHz front side bus speed. The server hardware
is preconfigured and the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system
is preinstalled enabling customers to rapidly deploy new file servers and
additional disk capacity in minutes.
The IBM eServer xSeries 346 Storage Server features high performance
hot-swap SCSI disk drive technology and is available in two models. The
8840-17x is an internal SCSI disk server with 1.2 TB of disk space. The
Windows Storage Server 2003 resides on two mirrored 36GB 15K rpm hot swap
SCSI disk drives and there four 300GB 10K hot-swap SCSI drives for user
data storage. The second x346 Storage Server model, the 8840-37x, also
has two mirrored 36GB 15K hot-swap disks for the operating system but no
user data storage drives are included. There are four remaining empty
disk drive bays available for the additional hot swap SCSI disk drives.
This gives the customer the option to add the right amount of additional
data disk for their environment. The additional disk drives require
customer installation and RAID configuration. In addition to the
internal SCSI disks, selected external disk subsystems can also be
attached to the IBM eServer xSeries 346 Storage Server to further expand
the disk storage requirements. The following disk subsystems are
supported on the x346 Storage Server: IBM EXP400, DS300, and DS400.
The IBM eServer xSeries 346 Storage Server is available in two
pre-configured models:
