As a business matures, so does the
amount of data and the value of
the data that it holds within the organi-
zation. If the data is distributed across
servers and individual storage systems,
the business will face increased cost
and complexity along with the accom-
panying business risks.
The IBM System Storage™ DS3400
Express leads the way for these organi-
zations to take advantage of consoli-
dating and sharing this data within a
direct-attach or FC SAN solution.
The DS3400 Express adds the most
advanced fr
ont-end 4 Gbps FC tech-
nology to IBM time-proven designs for
enterprise-class RAID storage. With FC
host connectivity and SAS back-end
technology, the DS3400 Express is
designed to improve productivity
through data consolidation, availability,
performance and scalability.
