In an increasingly demanding and competitive business landscape, effective data
management is essential to the success of your business. Employees, partners,
and customers need access to up-to-date information to work productively, make
timely decisions, and meet business goals. You are under pressure to deliver
more storage capacity and at higher levels of service, yet critical
resources—staffing, budget, power, cooling, and floor space—are often
constrained.
These demands call for enterprise-class storage systems with the flexibility to
support changing IT requirements, accommodate continuous data growth, satisfy
application-level service requirements, and unify SAN and NAS infrastructures at
a low overall cost.
The IBM System Storage® N7000 series systems are designed to help you tackle the
challenge of effective data management using virtualization technology and a
unified storage architecture. The N7000 series is designed to deliver high-end
enterprise storage and data management capabilities with midrange affordability.
Built-in serviceability and manageability features help support your efforts to
increase reliability; simplify and unify storage infrastructure and maintenance;
and deliver exceptional economy.
The N7000 series, like all N series systems, provides powerful virtualization
and thin-provisioning capabilities to help you maximize storage utilization
while minimizing the use of power, cooling, and floor space. At the same time,
you can improve staff productivity with an integrated suite of application-aware
manageability software offering policy-based automation to otherwise manual
tasks.
The IBM N7000 series can unify FC SAN, iSCSI SAN, NAS, primary, nearline, and
regulatory compliance data retention and archival storage in an integrated
architecture. The N7000 also offers massive scalability to support growth and
consolidation. The combination of versatility and simplicity of N series systems
is intended to help you respond quickly to changing business needs.
Data Sheet
In addition, the N7000 series ordered with a Gateway feature can help you get
the most from your existing storage equipment. You can improve your return on
investment while continuing to support different access methods for different
business solutions throughout the enterprise. The IBM N7000 series is able to
support the attachment to broad range of IBM, EMC, Hitachi, Fujitsu, 3PAR, and
HP storage subsystems, including the IBM Enterprise Storage Server® (ESS)
series, IBM XIV® Storage System, IBM System Storage DS8000® and DS4000® series
with its Gateway feature.

The challenge: Support cost-effective, enterprise-class storage

Corporate workgroups, distributed enterprises and small-to-medium-sized
companies increasingly seek to network and consolidate storage to improve
availability, share information, reduce costs and protect and secure
information. These organizations require enterprise-class solutions that are
capable of addressing immediate storage needs cost-effectively while providing
an upgrade path for future requirements. Ideally, IT managers would like a
maximum degree of flexibility to design the architecture that best supports the
requirements of multiple types of data and a broad range of applications.
The solution: IBM System Storage N3700 storage system
IBM System Storage™ N3700 is designed to offer you fast data access with
extremely low maintenance requirements for a highly capable data storage
solution. The N3700 filer integrates storage and storage processing into a
single unit, facilitating affordable network deployments. These advanced storage
systems use a proven storage architecture and offer standard IBM System Storage
N series elements, including integrated I/O, high availability via clustering
and Fibre Channel and/or SATA disk drives. IBM System Storage N3700 models are
designed to integrate easily into existing IT environments to deliver unified
storage for organizations with NAS, IP SAN via iSCSI protocols, FC SAN via FCP
protocols, or combined environments, making enterprise-level storage a realistic
goal for company sites regardless of size or staffing.
