Expand with multiple EXP3000s

The scalability of the DS3400 allows IT

managers to respond to a constantly

changing storage environment. By

starting small, the DS3400 allows users

to make additional investments in their

infrastructure when data growth neces-

sitates it; thus organizations can easily

increase capacity and storage capabili-

ties with minimal cost and effort. The

DS3400 capacity is increased by

adding hard disk drives or by expand-

ing the configuration and adding

EXP3000 expansion units. Both these

operations can be done without shut-

ting down the DS3400. This means

“zero-impact” to your environment and

gives the user control of data storage

as they expand capacity on an 

as-needed basis.

Flexible approach to storage

The DS3400 is a comprehensive stor-

age solution for IBM System x,

BladeCenter and select third-party

servers. This flexibility allows you to

break-free of server barriers and use a

single storage solution in a mixed 

vendor environment.

Priced right for small business

With the functionality and availability

features that come standard and a

price-point that does not strain the

budget, the DS3400 is the simple

choice for small and medium busi-

nesses. Other storage products require

the purchase of expensive options for

basic storage configurations. The

DS3400 is an out-of-the-box solution

that will satisfy the majority of storage

needs.

The DS3000 Storage Manager software

was designed for simple implementa-

tion by an unseasoned administrator.

The task-oriented management inter-

face of the DS3000 Storage Manager

presents tasks to the administrator first,

and then asks on which object to per-

form the task. This contrasts with an

object-oriented interface of a typical

system in which the object is first

selected, and then the task, and

requires a higher depth of storage net-

working expertise. The DS3000 Storage

Manager approach enables even non-

Storage administrators to quickly set up

and deploy the storage solution. The

management application’s task-oriented

interface removes the resistance that

many organizations have with their lim-

ited in-house expertise.
