Used IBM DS8800 Enterprise Storage Server

Used IBM DS8800 Enterprise Storage Server

The IBM DS8800 Enterprise Storage Array is designed to provide exceptional performance while adding virtualisation capabilities that can help customers allocate system resources more effectively and better
control application quality of service. IBM DS8800 Enterprise Storage Array also offers powerful data backup, remote mirroring and recovery functions that can help protect data from unforeseen events. In addition, it is designed to support non-disruptive microcode changes. These functions are designed to help maintain data availability, which can benefit businesses in markets where information must be accessible around the-
clock, every day of the year.

Visualization can offer dramatic opportunities for clients to help reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) of their storage systems. Introducing a new level of virtualisation with innovative storage system logical partitioning (LPAR), the IBM DS8800 Enterprise Storage Array delivers the first use of the POWER5 processor IBM Virtualization Engine logical partitioning capability. This storage system LPAR technology is designed to enable the creation of two completely separate storage subsystems which can run the same or different versions of the microcode. The subsystems can be used for production, test or other unique storage environments, and they operate within a single physical enclosure. Each storage partition can be established to support the specific performance requirements of a different, heterogeneous workload, and the IBM DS8800 Enterprise Storage Array system hardware-based partitioning implementation helps to isolate and protect the LPARS. These storage system LPAR capabilities are designed to help simplify systems by maximising management efficiency, cost effectiveness and flexibility.

The IBM DS8800 Enterprise Storage Array offers high-performance, high-capacity storage systems that are designed to deliver a generation-skipping leap in performance, scalability, resiliency and total value. Created specifically for the mission-critical workloads of medium and large enterprises, the IBM DS8800 Enterprise Storage Array can help consolidate system storage, simplify storage management and support system availability to meet the needs of businesses operating in an on demand world.
