6 IBM System Storage N series Hardware Guide
The hardware includes the following features and benefits:
򐂰 Data compression:
Transparent in-line data compression can store more data in less space, which
reduces the amount of storage that you must purchase and maintain.
Reduces the time and bandwidth that is required to replicate data during volume
SnapMirror transfers.
򐂰 Deduplication:
Runs block-level data deduplication on NearStore data volumes.
Scans and deduplicates volume data automatically, which results in fast, efficient
space savings with minimal effect on operations.
򐂰 Data ONTAP:
Provides full-featured and multiprotocol data management for block and file serving
environments through N series storage operating system.
Simplifies data management through single architecture and user interface, and
reduces costs for SAN and NAS deployment.
򐂰 Disk sanitization:
Obliterates data by overwriting disks with specified byte patterns or random data.
Prevents recovery of current data by any known recovery methods.
򐂰 FlexCache:
Creates a flexible caching layer within your storage infrastructure that automatically
adapts to changing usage patterns to eliminate bottlenecks.
Improves application response times for large compute farms, speeds data access for
remote users, or creates a tiered storage infrastructure that circumvents tedious data
management tasks.
򐂰 FlexClone:
Provides near-instant creation of LUN and volume clones without requiring more
storage capacity.
Accelerates test and development, and storage capacity savings.
򐂰 FlexShare:
Prioritizes storage resource allocation to highest-value workloads on a heavily loaded
system.
Ensures that best performance is provided to designated high-priority applications.
򐂰 FlexVol:
Creates flexibly sized LUNs and volumes across a large pool of disks and one or more
RAID groups.
Enables applications and users to get more space dynamically and non-disruptively
without IT staff intervention. Enables more productive use of available storage and
helps improve performance.
򐂰 Gateway:
Supports attachment to IBM Enterprise Storage Server® (ESS) series, IBM XIV®
Storage System, and IBM System Storage DS8000® and DS5000 series. Also
supports a broad range of IBM, EMC, Hitachi, Fujitsu, and HP storage subsystems.
