storage management. Minimize
the number of disk storage
systems required even as your
VMware capacity and performance
needs increase—thus cutting
storage acquisition costs and
recurring costs for maintenance,
floor space, power and cooling.
And with DS5000 4 Gb technology,
you also have investment protection.
Increase the storage performance
of your VMware Infrastructure with
the modular storage benchmark
leader. The DS5000 was designed
for continuous scalability of both
throughput and I/O performance
up to the maximum configuration
of 224 drives.
Tailor storage characteristics to
application requirements by
implementing tiered storage and
storage classes in disk storage
systems as well as the SAN.
Maximize your storage price/
performance while lowering your
total cost of storage ownership.
• LeverageYourBusinessInformation.
Improve accessibility to your
valuable business data with a
DS4000/DS5000 SAN infrastructure
that features extensive interoperability,
is specifically certified for a
VMware Infrastructure, and allows
any Virtual Machine to access any
virtual storage system and any logical
disk if authorized.
Simplify data management with
tiered storage that enhances data
protection and recovery and supports
popular data management
software (including IBM TSM).
