IBM Storage

IBM TotalStorage DS8000 Turbo

  • Support continuous operations for mission-critical workloads with cost-effective disk systems designed to be robust, flexible and highly available

     
  • Improve responsiveness with world-class performance

     
  • Manage growth and complexity through consolidation fostered by scalability up to 512 TB, support for a wide variety of server platforms, and advanced management capabilities

     
  • Realize greater efficiencies for IBM server environments through features such as HyperPAV, Extended Distance FICON®, and cooperative caching

     
  • Improve the cost structure of operations through tiered-storage, which supports both high performance and high capacity disk drive technology

     
  • Manage the total cost of ownership (TCO) with Enterprise Choice warranties of 1-year, 2-year, 3-year or 4-years on hardware and advanced functions


IBM DS8000 Turbo 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.
