Overview
Today's global, e-business environment is increasing the demand for fast and reliable access to data 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, economic conditions mandate expenses to be kept low in order to maintain a competitive bottom-line. The IBM TotalStorage® Enterprise Storage Server(TM) (ESS) Model 750 sets yet another milestone in ESS functionality, flexibility, and overall value. It is designed to help meet the needs of clients who don't require the full range of capacity and performance scalability offered by the ESS Model 800, but do need enterprise-level functionality intended to support reliable, continuous access to data at an affordable price.
The ESS Model 750 is a new model in the family of Enterprise Storage Servers. It provides an entry point into the ESS product family comprised of the ESS Model 750 and the ESS Model 800. The ESS Model 750 offers many of the features of the ESS Model 800, but is based on a two-way processor with 8 GB cache and 2 GB of NVS in contrast to the four or six-way processors available with the ESS Model 800. With support for up to 4.6 TB of physical capacity and six 2Gb Fibre Channel/FICON(TM) or ESCON® host adapters, the ESS Model 750 is designed to provide an attractive price/performance balance for clients requiring smaller configurations. The ESS Model 750 is well-suited for environments where the workload access densities average two operations per second per gigabyte.
The ESS Model 750 supports FlashCopy® and FlashCopy Version 2, as well as PPRC and PPRC Version 2, for point-in-time copy options and advanced metropolitan or long-distance business continuance solutions. The ESS Model 750 also includes support for zSeries® performance enhancers; PAV, priority I/O queuing, and multiple allegiance. Additionally, the ESS Model 750 is upgradeable to the ESS Model 800, offering clients investment protection and full ESS scalability.
