two-way processor with 8 GB cache and 2 GB of NVS in contrast to the four
or six-way processors available with the ESS Model 800. With support for
up to 4.6 TB of physical capacity and six 2Gb Fibre Channel/FICON or
ESCON host adapters, the ESS Model 750 is designed to provide an
attractive price/performance balance for clients requiring smaller
configurations. The ESS Model 750 is well-suited for environments where
the workload access densities average two operations per second per

is designed to offer hardware-based remote copy solutions.
Synchronous PPRC (PPRC Metro Mirro) is designed to provide
real-time mirroring of logical volumes between two ESSs
that can be located up to 103 km from each other when
using ESCON communication links and up to 300 km when
using Fibre Channel communication links. It is a
synchronous copy solution where write operations are
completed on both copies (local and remote site) before
they are considered to be done. PPRC also includes PPRC
Extended Distance (PPRC Global Copy), a non-synchronous
long-distance copy option for data migration and backup.

event of an unplanned outage at any one of the three sites.
Alternatively, operational procedures, including the creation
