IBM System Storage DS3200
Easy, scalable, exible and affordable external storage solution
for small and medium businesses
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 experiencing
even faster data growth and are discov-
ering that their storage and data pro-
tection requirements have more
similarities than differences, relative to
large enterprises.
Small businesses can take an overbur-
dened internal storage infrastructure to
a new level by using the exible 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.
Expandable by attaching up to
three EXP3000s, a total of
14.4TB of storage capacity
Affordable for the small and
medium business budgets Easy to deploy and manage
With many small business IT depart-
ments having one or a part-time admin-
istrator and limited time to spend on
data management, the DS3200 can be
easily installed without extensive knowl-
edge or effort.
The DS3000 Storage Manager software
was designed for easy implementation
for an unseasoned administrator. The
task-oriented management interface of
the DS3000 Storage Manager presents
tasks to the administrator rst and then
asks which object to perform the task
on. This contrasts to an object-oriented
interface of a typical system in which
the object is rst selected, then the
task, and requires a higher depth of
storage networking expertise. The
DS3000 Storage Manager approach
enables even non-Storage administra-
tors to quickly set up and deploy the
storage solution. The management
applications task-oriented interface
removes the resistance that many
organizations have with their limited in-
house expertise.
Expand with multiple EXP3000s
The scalability of the DS3200 allows IT
managers to respond to their constantly
changing storage environment. By
starting small, the DS3200 allows users
to make additional investments in 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 congura-
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 exibility
allows you to break free of server barri-
ers and use a single storage solution in
a mixed vendor environment.
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 congurations. The
DS3200 is an out-of-the-box solution
that will satisfy the majority of storage
needs. IBM System Storage DS3200 at a glance
