New performance benefits
For growing storage environments, the
IBM System x3650 NAS offers flexibility
and reliability. Separating dedicated file-
serving functions from application oper-
ations relieves the CPU from being
overburdened. With the Windows®
Storage Server 2003 R2 Operating
System and IBM Tivoli® CDP transpar-
ent backup software, achieve higher
performance and save valuable network
bandwidth and critical user productivity.
Simple management and maintenance
IBM storage servers offer many of the
benefits of shared pool storage solu-
tions like storage area networks (SANs)
but without complicated installation and
administration. These also support het-
erogeneous clients and servers utilizing
common network access protocols:
NFS for UNIX® and Linux® servers,
and CIFS. A remotely accessible User
Interface helps manage print and file
quotas and easily integrate into existing
AD environments.
Protect your IT investment
Protect clients’ infrastructure, including
the server and end-user data. The pre-
configured ServerProven® hardware
and IBM ServeRAID™ reliability make
this an optimized solution that
decreases capital equipment costs and
reduces IT staff hours. By making stor-
age devices LAN addressable, this
frees storage from direct attachment to
a consolidated server and enables any-
to-any connectivity, which can be clus-
tered for failover redundancy.
Select configurations of the x3650 NAS
are part of the IBM Express Portfolio™,
designed and priced to meet the needs
of midsized businesses.
