IBM N series systems enable easy pro
visioning, managing, and upgrading so
you can quickly adapt your storage
infrastructure to meet your changing
business and technical needs. To help
you maximize staff productivity, all
IBM N series systems use the Data
ONTAP® operating system and the
same suite of application-aware man
agement software.
Versatility for your diverse business needs
The IBM N6000 series systems offer a
versatile storage platform for handling
the large amounts of diverse data mov
ing through your business. With an
N6000 series system, you can consoli
date these varied data sets onto a
unified storage platform supporting
simultaneous block and file services for
business and technical applications.
With IBM N6000 series, you can unlock
the full potential of your growing virtual
ized server environment by enabling vir
tual machine mobility and offloading the
work of data protection. The N6000
systems enable you to connect your
heterogeneous server environment
(including Windows®, UNIX®, and
Linux® servers) and clients to one stor
age system by using standard storage
protocols and interfaces.
Increase data and application availability
IBM N6000 series systems can help
you spend less time on backup and
recovery, so you can focus your energy
and creativity on growing your busi
ness. Our full range of enterprise-class,
high-availability, and disaster-recovery
products provide affordable software for
data protection to help safeguard your
business-critical application’s data.
IBM N series Snapshot™ technology
helps reduce backup times to minutes;
SnapRestore® software enables
recovery of point-in-time data, also in
minutes.
IBM N series SnapManager® software
quickly returns applications to the same
point in time as recovered data. All of
this built on the solid foundation of our
low-overhead, dual-parity RAID-DP™—
the IBM N series implementation of
high-performance RAID 6 for better
data protection and capacity utilization
than RAID 5 and RAID 1+0.
Performance when your applications and
users need it
The IBM N6000 series offers compelling
performance across a wide range of
application workloads—file services,
OLTP, and messaging and collabora
tion, to name just a few. The high-
bandwidth, 64-bit controller architecture
with large memory cache and the latest
I/O technologies help provide data at
the rates you need to keep your
demanding business and technical
applications running smoothly. Your
critical applications can take priority
under peak load conditions with our
FlexShare™ quality of service software.
The Performance Acceleration Module
gives you a new way to optimize the
performance of your storage system—
an intelligent read cache that improves
throughput and reduces latency for file
services and other random read inten
sive workloads.
Features such as these can help you
meet demanding service levels and
achieve a faster time to market for your
critical new products and services.
Respond to your data growth challenges
In today’s business environment, it
seems the data your systems collect
grows relentlessly, regardless of
your company’s size. With versatile
IBM N6000 series systems, you can
combine high-performance Fibre
Channel and large-capacity SATA disk
drives in storage tiers for optimal per
formance and cost. And on the same
system, you can seamlessly consolidate
block and file storage. IBM N series
makes this possible by providing native
support of the FCP, iSCSI, NFS and
CIFS storage protocols through both
Fibre Channel and Ethernet interfaces.
