increase capacity and storage capabili-
ties with minimal cost and effort. The
DS3400 capacity is increased by
adding hard disk drives or by expand-
ing the configuration and adding
EXP3000 expansion units. Both these
operations can be done without shut-
ting down the DS3400. This means
“zero-impact” to your environment and
gives the user control of data storage
with the ability to expand capacity on
an as-needed basis.
Flexible approach to storage
The DS3400 is a comprehensive
storage solution for IBM System x,
BladeCenter and select third-party
servers. This flexibility allows you to
break free of server barriers and use a
single storage solution in a mixed
vendor environment. And because you
do not have to sacrifice functionality for
affordability, the DS3400 disk storage
system can deliver powerful dynamic
capabilities that help you protect data.
The disk storage system enables copy
and disaster recovery features such as
FlashCopy® and VolumeCopy that can
be enabled when required by your
application.
Telco Options
The IBM System Storage DS3400
includes a DC powered model that is
especially suited for Telco industry envi-
ronments. The IBM System Storage
DS3400 Model 42T, a NEBS-3 and
ETSI compliant disk system, and the
IBM System Storage EXP3000 Model
02T storage expansion unit are both
designed to be powered from a -48 V
DC Telco industry-standard power
supply.
Priced right for small business
With the functionality and availability
features that come standard and a
price point that does not strain
the budget, the DS3400 is the
simple choice for small and medium
businesses. Other storage products
require the purchase of expensive
options for basic storage configura-
tions. The DS3400 is an out-of-the-box
solution that will satisfy the majority of
storage needs.
