Information
As businesses mature, so does the amount of data and the value it holds within the organization. If the data is distributed across servers and individual storage systems, the business will face increased cost, complexity and the accompanying business risks. The IBM System Storage™ DS3400 leads the way for these organizations to take advantage of consolidating and sharing this data within a direct-attach or SAN solution. The DS3400 offers the opportunity to meet the demands of data expansion, data availability and flexibility in a simple, affordable disk system.
Easy to deploy and manage
With the majority of small business IT departments having one or a part-time administrator and limited time to spend on data management, the DS3400 can be easily installed without extensive knowledge or effort.
Expand with multiple EXP3000s
The scalability of the DS3400 allows IT managers to respond to a constantly changing storage environment. By starting small, the DS3400 allows users to make additional investments in their infrastructure when data growth necessitates it; thus organizations can easily increase capacity and storage capabilities with minimal cost and effort. The DS3400 capacity is increased by adding hard disk drives or by expanding the configuration and adding EXP3000 expansion units. Both these operations can be done without shutting down the DS3400. This means “zero-impact” to your environment and gives the user control of data storage as they 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.
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 configurations. The DS3400 is an out-of-the-box solution that will satisfy the majority of storage needs.
