Enterprise Choice warranties of 1-year, 2-year, 3-year or 4-years on hardware
and advanced functions
Virtualized, resilient, high-performance storage for mission-critical workloads
The IBM System Storage™ DS8000™ Turbo series is designed to support the most
demanding business environments. The DS8000 Turbo series provides exceptional
performance and should be considered for applications that require fast access
to data. What’s more, for those concerned with maintaining business uptime, the
DS8000 provides resiliency features that support continuous availability. With
its high-capacity scalability, broad server support and virtualization features,
the DS8000 Turbo is well suited for simplifying the storage environment by
consolidating data from multiple storage systems on a single system. Through
virtualization, organizations can allocate system resources more effectively and
better control application quality of service.
