With the proliferation of servers and the influx of data growth in today’s IT environments, organizations from a small-to-medium business to the enterprise understand the value that networking plays in managing applications and business data. Today, the connectivity of storage devices must enable substantially higher scalability, availability and manageability than is possible with direct attached storage (DAS). To use data to its fullest extent, it must be accessible to those who need it. Consolidating data by means of a network is the best way to achieve this.

The IBM System Storage® DS3300 Express is designed to meet the availability and consolidation needs for a wide range of users—from the entry-level SMB to an enterprise’s remote site or departments. The DS3300 provides organizations an affordable, reliable and scalable storage solution that takes advantage of their current Internet Protocol (IP) infrastructure equipment and in-house expertise.
