| To meet the storage challenges of today’s On Demand Business, you need to think big…and small. With data production skyrocketing, and regulations becoming increasingly restrictive, a complete storage solution is needed. Simply adding more storage is just that: adding. More importantly, IBM knows that complete solutions come in both BIG and SMALL packages, so that businesses of every size have access to breakthrough power. Introducing the DS8000 and DS6000–-the next generation of storage from IBM. One big. One small. Packed with IBM storage and server innovations to give you greater flexibility to manage, protect and share data.
Go big with the DS8000, leveraging its massive capacity and performance, with an architecture supporting over a petabyte of unprecedented scalability. Tap into its revolutionary Virtualization Engine featuring logical partitioning which allows you to run two “virtual” DS8000’s from one unit, supporting increased flexibility and improved quality of service, while simplifying management. And relax knowing the DS8000 can help protect your investment with extraordinary upgradeability allowing the big - to get bigger.
If small is a better fit with your business, the DS6000 offers enterprise class availability and capacity at a fraction of the size. It’s the first mid-range storage solution that attaches to both mainframes and heterogeneous open systems, supporting flexibility, availability and security. And the initial ultra small footprint can be easily expanded, growing in step with your needs. Because they share a common architecture, the DS8000 and DS6000 can run the same management software and back each other up for incredibly affordable business continuity solutions. Leveraging IBM’s leadership in server and storage technology, the DS8000 and DS6000 help realize the vision of a complete storage solution—an IBM TotalStorage solution—as only IBM can. By converging storage and server technology, IBM is providing big and small solutions that usher in an entirely new landscape. The result of these IBM TotalStorage innovations is power—the power to break through.
