IBM System Storage ds4100 Express

The IBM TotalStorage DS4100 Express is designed to give cost-conscious businesses an entry-level server that can help meet storage consolidation and near-line application storage needs without undue expense, while leaving them room to grow. With a dual controller, up to 28TB of Serial ATA (SATA) physical disk storage—and 14 internal 250GB disk drives inside the controller, and single controller supporting up to 3.5TB with 14 internal 250GB disk drives inside the controller—the DS4100 Express is designed to provide ample yet scalable storage without the cost of extra expansion units. This storage server also is designed to help consolidate direct-attach storage into a centrally managed, shared or storage area network (SAN) environment. And with dual controller having four Fibre Channel ports to attach to servers, the need for additional switches can be reduced or eliminated to help provide additional cost savings.

The DS4100 Express is designed to interoperate with IBM ® pSeries® and xSeries® servers as well as with other Intel® processor-based and UNIX® operating system-based servers. To help make integration easy, IBM tests the DS4100 Express for interoperability with IBM servers, as well as with many other brands of servers and switches.
