The IBM® TotalStorage® DS4300 is a mid-level disk system that can scale to over 16 terabytes of fibre channel disk physical capacity using 3 EXP710s, over thirty three terabytes of fibre channel disk physical capacity with the Turbo feature using 7 EXP710s. It uses the latest in storage networking technology to provide an end-to-end 2 Gbps Fibre Channel solution. As part of the IBM DS4000 mid-range disk systems family, the DS4300, and DS4300 with Turbo use the same common storage management software and high performance hardware design, providing clients with enterprise like capabilities found in mid to high end models, but at a much lower cost.
DS4000 Storage Manager is designed to enable up to 256 logical volumes (LUNs) per storage partition, definition of array groups greater than 2TB, and SCSI-3 Persistent Reservation. FlashCopyR with VolumeCopy, a new function for a complete logical volume copy within the DS4000 is available on the DS4300, and DS4300 with Turbo. Coupled with the EXP100 the DS4300 and DS4300 with Turbo feature allows you to configure RAID protected storage solutions of up to 44.8TB of physical capacity to help provide economical and scalable storage for your rapidly growing application needs for limited access, data reference, and near-line storage. The IBM TotalStorage DS4300 and the IBM TotalStorage DS4000 EXP710 have been issued a Certificate of Conformance by National Technical Systems, Inc., for conformance to Network Equipment-Building System requirements for Level 3 type 2 and 4 equipment (NEBS 3).
