IBM N6040 Software, Maximize your resources, Improve your business efficiency, Operating system

IBM N series offers an innovative thin provisioning capability to help you eliminate stranded storage by expand­ ing or contracting LUNs and volumes by using a common pool of spare capacity without IT staff intervention. When more performance or scalability is required, you can preserve invest­ ments in staff expertise and capital equipment by installing a more powerful N series controller that enables you to keep your data in place and use the same management tools.
