Easy, scalable, flexible and affordable external storage solution
for small and medium businesses
IBM System Storage DS3200
One clear message heard from small
and medium businesses is that their
data is as valuable to their organizations
as data is to the enterprise customer.
In fact, small businesses are experienc-
ing even faster data growth and are dis-
covering that their storage and data
protection requirements have more sim-
ilarities than differences, relative to large
enterprises.
Small businesses can take an overbur-
dened internal storage infrastructure to
a new level by using the flexible and
affordable IBM System Storage™
DS3200 storage system. By moving
storage outside the server, small busi-
nesses can increase the capacity and
reliability of the data solution well
beyond the initial storage investment.
And with SAS and SATA drive intermix
support, the DS3200 can be optimized
with the right workload demand utilizing
the appropriate drive technology.
