remote site or departments. The
DS3300 provides organizations an
affordable, reliable and scalable storage
solution that takes advantage of their
current IP infrastructure equipment and
in-house expertise.
Easy to deploy and manage
The IBM System Storage DS3000
Storage Manager software is designed
to provide a friendly user interface from
setup to administration. This intuitive
software builds on generations of
IBM software development to provide
trusted and reliable data management.
Its task-based user interface signifi-
cantly reduces the complexity of instal-
lation, configuration and management.
The DS3000 Storage Manager
approach is designed to enable even
non-storage savvy administrators to
quickly set up and deploy their storage
solution.
The DS3300 Express uses iSCSI host
interface technology. As a mature tech-
nology with a broad range of proven
management tools, iSCSI can often be
simply administered in-house, as net-
working expertise is common through-
out many companies today. This can
help organizations capitalize on their
existing IT skill sets and avoid having to
learn a new networking protocol, which
can include extensive—and sometimes
expensive—training. With the DS3300
Express storage system, transitioning
DAS configurations to an IP SAN is a
simple task for even the most inexperi-
enced full-time administrator.
Tiered storage solution
Tiered storage is the assignment of dif-
ferent categories of data to different
types of drives in order to reduce total
storage cost. A key attribute of the
DS3300 Express is the integration of
SAS and SATA technologies within a
single enclosure. This simplifies pur-
chasing and storage deployment with
nearline applications using inexpensive
SATA drives and highly-utilized applica-
tions deploying SAS drives.
Expand with multiple EXP3000s
The scalability of the DS3300 Express
helps IT managers respond to their
constantly changing storage environ-
ment. By starting small, the DS3300
Express enables users to make addi-
tional investments in their infrastructure
only when their data growth necessi-
tates it. The DS3300 Express capacity
is increased either by adding hard disk
drives or by expanding the configura-
tion with additional EXP3000 Express
expansion units. Both of these opera-
tions can be performed without having
to shut down the DS3300 Express.
This means “zero impact” and gives
users control of their data storage as
they scale their capacity on an as-
needed basis.
Extensive reach
The reach of a SAN throughout the
organization is most often limited by the
distance restriction of the fabric. As a
routable transport with virtually no dis-
tance limitations, the DS3300 Express
can be located almost anywhere. iSCSI
breaks through any distance limitations
and can extend its scope to remote
locations well beyond the corporate
data center.
Flexible approach to storage
The DS3300 Express is a comprehen-
sive storage solution for IBM System x,
IBM BladeCenter, and select third-party
servers. This flexibility helps free organi-
zations from server barriers by offering
a single storage solution in a mixed-
vendor environment. And because
functionality is not sacrificed for afford-
ability, the DS3300 Express disk stor-
age system can deliver powerful
capabilities that further help protect
data. The DS3300 Express enables
optional copy and disaster recovery
features such as IBM FlashCopy® and
Volume Copy that can be enabled
when an application necessitates it.
