IBM System Storage N7000 Modular
Disk Storage Systems

Highlights

■ Scalable—Designed for non-

disruptive expansion to more

than 1.1 petabytes (1.1 PB, or

1100 TB) storage capacity

■ Versatile—Single, integrated

architecture designed to sup

port concurrent block I/O and

ﬁle serving over Ethernet

and Fibre Channel SAN

infrastructures

■ Flexible—Fibre Channel and

SATA disk-drive capabilities

allow for deployment in multiple

solution environments, includ

ing data retention, near-line

storage, disk-to-disk backup

scenarios and high-

performance, mission-critical

I/O intensive operations

■ Efficient consolidation—

Intended to provide storage for

multiple applications in a single

system with FlexShare™ to

ensure that critical workloads

get priority service

■ Application availability—N7000

systems with Data ONTAP®

enable application-level recov

ery in minutes, not hours, upon

failure or user error

■ Performance—Delivers high,

consistent performance for

mission-critical applications

The challenge: Managing data for business

advantage

In an increasingly demanding and com

petitive business landscape, effective

data management is essential to the

success of the enterprise. Data avail

ability from any location gives employ

ees, partners and customers the

up-to-the-minute information they need

to work productively, make timely deci

sions and meet business goals.

Information technology professionals

facing these challenges are under pres

sure to deliver more capacity and at

higher levels of service. Yet critical

resources—staffing, budget, power,

cooling and ﬂoor space—are often

constrained.

These demands call for enterprise-class

storage systems with the ﬂexibility to

support changing IT requirements,

accommodate continuous data growth,

satisfy application-level service require

ments and unify SAN and NAS infra

structures with the expectation of

reducing overall costs.
