 IBM® TotalStorage® DS4100 (formerly FAStT100)

The IBM TotalStorage DS4100 (formerly FAStT100) is designed to give cost-conscious enterprises an entry-level server that can help address storage consolidation and near-line application storage needs without undue expense, while leaving them room to grow. Single controller model supports up to 3.5TB while the dual controller model supports up to 28TB of Serial ATA (SATA) physical disk storage with DS4000 EXP100—provided by up to 14 internal 250GB disk drives inside the controller—the DS4100 can provide ample yet scalable storage without the cost of extra expansion units. This disk system is designed to help consolidate direct-attached storage into a centrally managed, shared or storage area network (SAN) environment. With four Fibre Channel ports to attach to servers on dual controller, the need for additional switches is reduced or eliminated for additional potential cost savings.

The DS4100 is designed to interoperate with IBM eServer™ pSeries® and IBM eServer xSeries® servers as well as with Intel® processor-based and UNIX®-based servers. To help make integration easy, IBM tests the DS4100 for interoperability with IBM servers, as well as with many other brands of servers and switches.

The DS4100 also includes management tools and automation features that can help lower administration costs. At the same time, the SATA-based DS4100 supports increased reliability and performance compared to older, non-redundant parallel Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) products.

Well-suited for small to medium-sized enterprises that need affordable, entry-level, general purpose or near-line storage Designed to offer up to 28TB of Serial ATA (SATA) physical disk storage on dual controller Dual controller supports storage expansion of up to 112 SATA disk drives with DS4000 EXP100 enclosure Designed to help facilitate storage consolidation in storage area network (SAN), network attached storage (NAS) and direct-attach environment Support for non-disruptive upgrades to higher capacity DS4000 family of mid-range disk systems Support for high availability with features designed to avoid single points of failure Provides four 2Gb Fibre Channel host ports designed to economically support multipath failover for direct-attached clustered servers Powerful, intuitive management tools such as DS4000 Storage Manager can help centrally manage all DS4000 storage subsystems Can help improve service response time with automated alerts from the optional DS4000 Service Alert feature
