IBM System Storage N7000

  • Scalable—Designed for nondisruptive expansion to more than 1.1 petabytes (1176 TB) storage capacity

     

  • Versatile—Supports concurrent block I/O and file serving over Ethernet and Fibre Channel SAN infrastructures

     

  • Efficient consolidation—FlexShare helps ensure that critical workloads get priority service

     

  • Application availability—Supports application-level recovery in minutes, not hours

     

  • Performance—Delivers high, consistent performance for mission-critical applications


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.

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.
