{"product_id":"370201","title":"IBM TotalStorage SAN16M-2 Express Model","description":"The IBM TotalStorage® SAN16M-2 Express Model is designed specifically to meet the needs of small to medium-size SAN environments. It can be used to create a wide range of high-performance SAN solutions, from simple single-switch configurations to larger multi-switch configurations which support fabric connectivity and advanced business continuity capabilities. Infrastructure simplification solutions for IBM ® xSeries® servers include storage consolidation and high-availability server clustering with IBM TotalStorage disk storage arrays. Business continuity solutions include data protection with IBM TotalStorage tape libraries and devices and IBM Tivoli® Storage Manager data protection software.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA single SAN16M-2 Express Model can serve as the cornerstone of a Storage Area Network for those who want to obtain the benefits of storage consolidation and are just beginning to implement Fibre Channel storage systems. Such an entry-level configuration can consist of one or two Fibre Channel links to a disk storage array or to an LTO™ tape drive. An entry-level eight-port storage consolidation solution can support up to seven servers with a single path to either disk or tape. The FlexPort feature is designed to enable a base switch to grow to sixteen ports, in four port increments, to support more servers and more storage devices without taking the switch offline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA high-availability solution can be created with redundant switches. This capability is ideal for server clustering environments. Such a configuration can support from six to fourteen servers, each with dual Fibre Channel adapters cross-connected to redundant SAN16M-2 Express Model switches which are cross-connected to a dual-controller storage system.","brand":"IBM","offers":[{"title":"IBM","offer_id":1884706307,"sku":"202616E","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/searchanise-100k.myshopify.com\/products\/370201","provider":"searchanise-100k","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
