IBM TotalStorage DS4000 (for-
merly FAStT storage servers)
while avoiding data loss or
interruption
Most businesses today must retain a
growing volume of valuable data that is
rarely accessed—if at all—but needs to
be online and stored for long periods of
time. This near-line application storage
must keep up with demand; however,
for small- and medium-sized enter-
prises, predicting storage needs and
controlling costs can be especially chal-
lenging as business grows.
The IBM TotalStorage DS4100 is
designed to give cost-conscious enter-
prises an entry-level server that can
help meet storage consolidation and
near-line application storage needs
without undo expense, while leaving
them room to grow. With a dual con-
troller, up to 44.8TB of Serial ATA
(SATA) physical disk storage—and
14 internal 400GB or 250GB disk
drives inside the controller, and a single
controller supporting up to 5.6TB with
14 internal 400GB disk drives inside the
controller—the DS4100 is designed to
provide ample yet scalable storage
■ Offers high-availability features
that are designed to avoid
single points of failure
■ Provides four 2GB Fibre
Channel host ports designed
to economically support
multipath failover for direct-
attach clustered servers
■ Includes powerful, intuitive
management tools, such as the
IBM TotalStorage DS4000
Storage Manager, that help
centrally manage the DS4000
series
