FAStT product renaming
IBM is in the process of renaming some FAStT family products. Table 1 identifies
each new DS4000 product name with its corresponding FAStT product name. Note
that this change of product name only indicates no change in functionality or
warranty. All products listed below with new names are functionally-equivalent and
fully-interoperable. Each DS4000 product retains full IBM service as outlined in
service contracts issued for analogous FAStT products.
