This IBM Redbook describes the IBM TotalStorage
DS6000 storage server series, its architecture, its logical
design, hardware design and components, advanced
functions, performance features, and specific
characteristics. The information contained in this book is
useful for those who need a general understanding of this
powerful new disk subsystem, as well as for those looking
for a more detailed understanding of how the DS6000
series is designed and operates.
The DS6000 series is a follow-on product of the IBM
TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server with new functions
related to storage virtualization and flexibility.
The DS6000 series is a storage product targeted for the
midrange market, but it has all the functions and availability
features that normally can be found only in high end
storage systems. In a very small enclosure, which fits in a
standard 19-inch rack, the DS6000 series offers capacity,
reliability functions, and performance similar to those of an
ESS 800 or comparable high-end storage systems.
