IBM System Storage DS8000

IBM System Storage DS8000 is high-performance, secure system of data storage of high capacity, the providing highest performance levels, flexibility, scalability, fault tolerance and advantages of the solution in general for support of the most exacting, heterogeneous environments of data storage

On November 21, 2013 the IBM company announced an exit of updates in a line of storage systems of DS8000.

In DS8870 there were new controllers on the basis of IBM POWER 7+ processors that increased performance by 20%, accelerated work of transactional and analytical applications. The list of the supported disks is expanded, the capacity of a system is increased almost by a third.

Description

Specific Features

• Three times higher performance for acceleration of transaction processing and the analysis in real time
• The highest system availability thanks to full redundancy of the equipment and modern solutions for ensuring continuity of business processes, integrated into the corporate IBM® servers
• Optimization of performance and costs using the 5th generation of IBM System Storage Easy Tier technology and to other modern components for automatic adjustment
• Scalability up to 1 terabyte (TB) a cache memory of a system and to the 2nd petabyte (PB) of capacity
• Support of consolidation thanks to the highest scalability, automatic optimization, the organization of levels of drives and support of a broad spectrum of workloads.

The updated high-performance disk system of IBM allows scaling from 5 TB in Business Class option of initial level to more than 2 PB in the system of complete deployment.

The System Storage DS8000 systems represent the high-performance, secure systems of data storage of high capacity providing the highest performance levels, flexibility, scalability, fault tolerance and advantages of the solution in general for support of the most exacting, heterogeneous environments of data storage.
