IBM TotalStorage Expansion Units
The IBM TotalStorage DS4000
EXP100 Storage Expansion Unit is designed to enable the attachment of
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) disk
drives for the
IBM TotalStorage DS4300,
IBM TotalStorage DS4400, and
IBM TotalStorage
DS4500. The new DS4000 EXP100 is a rack-mountable enclosure that
supports up to fourteen of the new DS4000 250 GB SATA disk drive modules,
offering up to 3.5 terabytes (TB) of capacity per enclosure.
Coupled with the DS4500 Disk Storage, it allows you to configure RAID protected
storage solutions of up to 56 TB, or up to 28 TB with the DS4300, to help
provide economical and scalable storage for your rapidly growing application
needs for limited access, data reference capacity. The EXP100 utilizes SATA
technology and is designed with redundant 2 Gbps Fibre Channel connections to
the DS4000, supporting increased reliability and performance as compared to
older, nonredundant parallel Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) products.
DS4000s with EXP100 SATA disks build upon the highly successful and widely
established base of DS4000s. They can be added to storage area networks to
satisfy the needs of various fixed content, data reference applications that
require large amounts of storage capacity but do not have the high utilization
and access characteristics satisfied by Fibre Channel disk drive storage. Users
will continue to have the advantages of the DS4000 Storage Manager's common,
centralized management interface for handling both classes of storage needs.
The IBM TotalStorage DS4000
EXP710 Fibre Channel Storage Expansion Unit available for selected DS4000
Midrange Disk Systems, expands the IBM TotalStorage DS4000 family by offering a
new 14-bay, 2 Gbps, rack-mountable Fibre Channel (FC) drive enclosure.
Enhancements include support for improved reliability and efficiency utilizing
internal switch technology to attach to each disk drive within the EXP710
enclosure.
The new EXP710 can be used with the
IBM TotalStorage DS4500,
DS4400,
and DS4300
with Turbo Midrange Disk Systems that have been updated to the latest firmware
level provided with the IBM TotalStorage DS4000 Storage Manager V9.10. The
EXP710 is designed to support the same 2 Gbps Fibre Channel Disk Modules
available for the IBM TotalStorage DS4000 EXP700 Fibre Channel Storage Expansion
Unit and can scale to over two terabytes (TB) of disk storage capacity per
enclosure using the higher capacity Disk Modules. The EXP710 can be used with
EXP700 Storage Expansion Units on the same DS4500, DS4400, and DS4300 with Turbo
Disk Systems. A new EXP700 Switched Enclosure Service Module (ESM) option is
planned to be available in November to upgrade current EXP700 enclosures to the
equivalent internal switching capabilities as the EXP710 for the supported
DS4000 Disk Systems.
