their infrastructure only when their data
growth necessitates it; thus organiza-
tions can easily increase capacity and
storage capabilities with minimal cost
and effort. The DS3200 capacity is
increased by either adding hard disk
drives or by expanding the configura-
tion and adding EXP3000 expansion
units. Both these operations can be
done without having to shut down the
DS3200. This means “zero-impact” to
your environment and gives users con-
trol of their data storage as they expand
capacity on an as-needed basis.
Flexible approach to storage
The DS3200 is a comprehensive stor-
age solution for IBM System x™ and
select third-party servers. This flexibility
allows you to break free of server
barriers and use a single storage solu-
tion in a mixed vendor envir
onment.
And because you do not have to sacri-
fice functionality for affordability, the
DS3200 disk storage system can
deliver powerful dynamic capabilities
that help you protect data. The disk
storage system enables copy and
disaster recovery features such as
FlashCopy® and VolumeCopy that can
be enabled when required by your
application.
Telco Options
The IBM System Storage DS3200
includes a dc powered model that is
especially suited for Telco industry envi-
ronments. The IBM System Storage
DS3200 Model 22T, a NEBS-3 and
ETSI compliant disk system, and the
IBM System Storage EXP3000 Model
02T storage expansion unit are both
designed to be powered from a
-48 V dc Telco industry-standard power
supply.
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 DS3200 is the simple
choice for the small and medium busi-
nesses. Other storage products require
the purchase of expensive options for
basic storage configurations. The
DS3200 is an out-of-the-box solution
that will satisfy the majority of storage
needs.
