 The
SAN Integration Server has been designed
to help integrate IBM virtualisation
technology, Fibre Channel switches
and storage Redundant Array of Independent
Disks(RAID) technologies into a preconfigured,
comprehensive solution. Delivered
and installed as a single unit, it
will offer upgrade options for connectivity,
storage capacity, and performance
levels. The solution has been developed
to provide the benefits of SAN with
the ease of single-system manageability.
SAN Integration Server will initially
be capable of scaling to over 100
terabytes (TB) of storage capacity
and connecting up to 42 hosts.
The
IBM TotalStorage SAN File System has
been designed to help:
- Provide
an integrated, pre-configured and
easily implemented storage solution
- Give
users a centralized control point
for managing an entire heterogeneous
SAN, including storage volumes from
disparate vendor devices, from one
console
- Provide
a single set of advanced copy and
backup services for multiple storage
devices
- Offer
a system architecture where storage
capacity, server connectivity and
performance are independently scalable
to better accommodate changing business
needs
- Reduce
downtime for planned and unplanned
outages, maintenance and backups
