Select conﬁgurations of the DS3400 are

part of the IBM Express Portfolio™,

designed and priced to meet the needs

of mid-sized businesses. The Express

models combine the DS3400 storage

system with the Fibre Channel cables

and SFP transceivers to help you get

started with storage quickly.

Easy to deploy and manage

With the majority of small business IT

departments having one or a part-time

administrator and limited time to spend

on data management, the DS3400 can

be easily installed without extensive

knowledge or effort.

The DS3000 Storage Manager software

was designed for simple implementa-

tion by an unseasoned administrator.

The task-oriented management inter-

face of the DS3000 Storage Manager

presents tasks to the administrator ﬁrst,

and then asks on which object to per-

form the task. This contrasts with an

object-oriented interface of a typical

system in which the object is ﬁrst

selected, and then the task, which

requires a higher depth of storage net-

working expertise. The DS3000 Storage

Manager approach enables even non-

Storage administrators to quickly set up

and deploy the storage solution. The

management application’s task-oriented

interface removes the resistance that

many organizations have with their lim-

ited in-house expertise.

Tiered storage solution

Tiered storage is the assignment of

different categories of data to different

types of drives in order to reduce total

storage cost. A key attribute of the

DS3000 series of disk systems is the

integration of SAS and SATA technolo-

gies within a single enclosure. By

accommodating high-access and near-

line data within a single enclosure, the

right application with the appropriate

drive technology is achieved. This sim-

pliﬁes purchasing and storage deploy-

ment with near-line applications utilizing

inexpensive SATA drives and highly-

utilized applications deploying SAS

drives. Tiered storage solutions help

match your IT investment with your

information value to maximize the return

on your IT investments.

Expand with multiple EXP3000s

The scalability of the DS3400 allows IT

managers to respond to a constantly

changing storage environment. By

starting small, the DS3400 allows users

to make additional investments in their

infrastructure when data growth neces-

sitates; thus organizations can easily
