Performance for today, scalability for
tomorrow
By utilizing standard xSeries hot-swap
Ultra320 SCSI drives with performance-
oriented 2Gb FC host fabric ports, the
DS400 can help your business achieve
enterprise-class, high I/O processor
(IOP) performance today—and allow for
future growth tomorrow. The modular
design of the DS400 is designed to
allow you to easily perform upgrades
and additions to help meet the needs of
your growing, changing application
environment—scaling to support
increasing volumes of data flexibly
and affordably.
In addition, where increased capacity is
required, the external SCSI channels of
the DS400 can be enabled to incorpo-
rate up to two IBM TotalStorage
EXP400 storage enclosures—for a
total of 40 disk drives or 5.8TB of phys-
ical capacity, using 146GB Ultra320
SCSI drives.
Finally, advanced software features
on the DS400—including access
control lists (ACLs) and online array
expansion—are designed to give
administrators the power to configure
storage according to changing usage
needs. These features are also
designed to enable IT managers to
share storage across multiple applica-
tion servers.
Enterprise-class reliability and availability
The new DS400 is designed to deliver
advanced functionality for business
continuance and disaster recovery—
at an entry-level price. Using a rack-
mountable 3U enclosure with 14 SCSI
drives and redundant design, hot-swap
power and cooling modules, the DS400
features RAID reliability and high-
availability software to help maintain
operations.
The enclosure supports either one or
two controllers for high-availability con-
figurations. Each controller supports
two 2Gb FC ports for high bandwidth
and redundant data paths so that—
even if a line or a controller fails—
multiple paths between servers
and storage can help maintain a
connection.
Metro mirroring

on the DS400 is
designed to enable disaster recovery
implementations to help protect critical
data. The DS400 also offers optional
advanced features such as space-
efficient IBM FlashCopy® solutions,
which are designed to help reduce
storage backup windows and improve
storage utilization for Microsoft®
Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server™
2000 and Lotus Notes® applications.
Powerful management tools
The DS400 is designed to offer
excellent storage management and
configuration capabilities through
IBM ServeRAID Manager, helping
enable clients to manage multiple
IBM TotalStorage DS300 and DS400
subsystems—as well as direct-
attached internal ServeRAID
controllers—all through a single,
easy-to-use management console with
an extensive online help library.
Configuration wizards simplify initial
storage setup. IBM ServeRAID Manager
is designed to support most common
operating environments for workgroup
applications, including Microsoft
Windows®, Novell NetWare and
Linux® platforms.
The management software of the
DS400 is built directly into the
client/server workgroup manager IBM
Director

. IBM Director is designed to
allow IT administrators to view and
track the hardware configuration of
remote systems in detail and monitor
the usage and performance of critical
components, such as processors,
disks and memory.
