Advantages: |
|
Help achieve low total cost of ownership (TCO) |
|
IBM System Storage DS4700 Express models support high-performance 4 GB Fibre Channel interface, the interface is the need for high capacity data link-sensitive applications design. DS4700 Express supports eight 4 Gbps host channel can be directly connected to the host server, or connected to the Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN). To achieve the 4 Gbps throughput speed for a 4-Gbps with the ability to drive and IT infrastructure. |
|
SAN equipment performance measurement There are two methods: a few megabytes per second (Mbps) per second and input / output (IOPS). DS4700 Express 4 Gbps SAN solutions are designed to provide up to 160 Mbps throughput (assuming that the capacity to support 4 Gbps systems), and to achieve 125,000 IOPS. A 2 Gbps requirements of the memory array is the number of host ports 4 Gbps array twice, to the realization of the four 4-Gbps port throughput. DS4700 Express so that you do not need in the SAN array with an extra for each host port. |
|
In the mainframe side, if the server requests more than two 2 Gbps host bus adapter (HBA) to reach the required performance (server should be equipped with at least two HBA to achieve high availability), this figure can be the 4 Gbps HBA half. Fewer HBA can help you by reducing the number of switch ports, thus helping to reduce overall costs. |
