Designed as reliable, powerful, scalable modular storage systems
offering a unified storage architecture—with exceptional value—
for large-enterprise data center applications and consolidations
IBM System Storage N7000 Modular
Disk Storage Systems
■ Scalable—Designed for non-
disruptive expansion to more
than 1.1 petabytes (1.1 PB, or
1100 TB) storage capacity
■ Versatile—Single, integrated
architecture designed to sup
port concurrent block I/O and
file serving over Ethernet
and Fibre Channel SAN
infrastructures
■ Flexible—Fibre Channel and
SATA disk-drive capabilities
allow for deployment in multiple
solution environments, includ
ing data retention, near-line
storage, disk-to-disk backup
scenarios and high-
performance, mission-critical
I/O intensive operations
Highlights
■ Efficient consolidation—
Intended to provide storage for
multiple applications in a single
system with FlexShare™ to
ensure that critical workloads
get priority service
■ Application availability—N7000
systems with Data ONTAP®
enable application-level recov
ery in minutes, not hours, upon
failure or user error
■ Performance—Delivers high,
consistent performance for
mission-critical applications
The challenge: Managing data for business
advantage
In an increasingly demanding and com
petitive business landscape, effective
data management is essential to the
success of the enterprise. Data avail
ability from any location gives employ
ees, partners and customers the
up-to-the-minute information they need
to work productively, make timely deci
sions and meet business goals.
Information technology professionals
facing these challenges are under pres
sure to deliver more capacity and at
higher levels of service. Yet critical
resources—staffing, budget, power,
cooling and floor space—are often
constrained.
These demands call for enterprise-class
storage systems with the flexibility to
support changing IT requirements,
accommodate continuous data growth,
satisfy application-level service require
ments and unify SAN and NAS infra
structures with the expectation of
reducing overall costs.
