An affordable dual-socket, dual- and quad-core SMP server with high performance and data protection for small and medium businesses

enhancing both the integrity and the availability of the data. SAS and SATA ServeRAID controllers offer enhanced performance due to onboard processors and cache. Because IBM ServeRAID controllers can help significantly improve data transfer rates, this technology is extremely effective when implementing demanding, transaction-oriented applications. By employing the advanced fault tolerance of IBM ServeRAID technology, companies can effectively implement networked business systems that require large amounts of storage space for data and applications that must be available for their businesses to continue operating.

The optional slotless ServeRAID-8k SAS/SATA controller offers enhanced performance for internal drives vs. the integrated ServeRAID-8k-l controller, 256MB of battery-backed cache memory, and supports six RAID levels: 0 (striping), 1 (mirroring), 10 (mirroring and striping), 1E (enhanced mirroring, supporting odd numbers of drives), 5 (striping with parity), and 6 (striping with double parity).

The optional PCI-E ServeRAID-8s SAS/SATA controller offers enhanced performance for both internal and external drives. It provides 256MB of cache (with optional battery backup), and supports the same 6 RAID levels as the ServeRAID-8k controller.

External Storage — The IBM TotalStorage DS3000, DS4000, DS6000, and DS8000 series, as well as the System Storage DS4000, N3000, N5000, and N7000 series, comprise a powerful and broad shared storage family with integrated management software designed to meet midrange and enterprise needs.

For lower-end needs, IBM offers the TotalStorage DS300 and DS400 storage enclosures.

Additionally, external SAN, NAS and direct-attach storage is available using one of several IBM System

Storage and TotalStorage host bus adapters.

The iSCSI HBA Adapter for IXA Connectivity is a PCI adapter for selected System x and xSeries servers that provides a direct 1GBps link to an IBM System i5 or iSeries server. This connection enables you to centralize their Microsoft Windows and System i5 or iSeries storage and consolidate the operations and backup of their System x, xSeries, System i5 and iSeries systems into a single infrastructure. It enables the tightest possible integration between Windows and System i5/iSeries data and applications, and allows as many as 32 servers to attach to one System i5 or iSeries system to share the iSeries server’s systems management, DVD, tape and disk storage via the iSeries dynamic virtual storage architecture. This can take the place of a SAN if you have an established System i5 or iSeries infrastructure.
