Storage and TotalStorage host bus adapters. 
External Storage — The IBM TotalStorage DS3000, DS4000, DS6000, and DS8000 series, as 
well as the System Storage DS4000, N3000, N5000, and N7000 series, comprise a powerful 
and broad shared storage family with integrated management software designed to meet 
midrange and enterprise needs. For lower-end needs, IBM offers the TotalStorage DS300 and 
DS400 storage enclosures. 
Additionally, external LAN-attached tape storage is available.  
The iSCSI HBA Adapter for IXA Connectivity is a PCI adapter for selected System x and 
xSeries servers that provides a direct 1GBps link to an IBM System i5 or iSeries server. This 
connection enables you to centralize your Microsoft Windows and System i5 or iSeries storage 
and consolidate the operations and backup of your System x, xSeries, System i5 and iSeries 
systems into a single infrastructure. It enables the tightest possible integration between 
Windows and System i5/iSeries data and applications, and allows as many as 32 servers to 
attach to one System i5 or iSeries system to share the iSeries server’s systems management, 
DVD, tape and disk storage via the iSeries dynamic virtual storage architecture. This can take 
the place of a SAN if you have an established System i5 or iSeries infrastructure.
