IBM System Storage™ DS6000 Series

The IBM System Storage DS6000 series is a member of the family of DS products and is built upon 2 Gbps fibre channel technology that provides RAID-protected storage with advanced functionality, scalability, and increased availability capabilities.

The DS6000 series is designed to offer a high reliability and performance- orientated midrange storage solution through the use of hot-swappable redundant RAID controllers in a space efficient modular design. The DS6000 series provides storage sharing and consolidation for a wide variety of operating systems and mixed server environments.

The DS6000 series is designed to offer high scalability while maintaining excellent performance. With the base DS6800 (Model 1750-511), you can install up to 16 disk drive modules (DDMs).

If you want to connect more than 16 disks, simply use the optional DS6000 expansion enclosures (Model 1750-EX1) that allow a maximum of 128 DDMs per storage system and provide a maximum physical storage capability of 38.4TB (FC), or 64TB (FATA).

The small, 3U form-factor allows for maximum density with a minimal footprint. Available in a 19-inch rack mountable package with optional modular expansion enclosures of the same size, the DS6000 offers capacity to help address your growing business needs, while conserving precious space, power, and cooling resources.

The DS6000 series addresses business efficiency needs through its heterogeneous connectivity, high performance and manageability functions, thereby helping to reduce total cost of ownership.

The DS6000 series offers the following major features:

•PowerPC® 750GX processors

•Dual active controllers are designed to maintain operations through the use of two processors that form a pair to back up one another

•A selection of 2 GB Fibre Channel (FC) & FATA disk drives, including 73, 146, 300, & 500GB sizes with speeds of 10,000 or 15,000 revolutions per minute (RPM)

•2 GB Fibre Channel and FICON host attachments of up to 8 ports, which can be configured with an intermix of Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) and FICON
