Product Description
Based on next-generation 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel (FC) technology, the IBM System Storage DS4700 Express easily handles the most compute-intensive workloads and provides robust functionality with bullet-proof availability. Excelling at IOPS and MB/s, the DS4700 storage system is a great fit for both transaction-oriented and bandwidth-intensive applications. Its industry-leading performance drives faster transactional applications, loads large data sets in less time, handles multiple I/O streams for rich media applications, supports larger consolidations and replicates data in less time. Its ability to auto-negotiate FC links speeds allows it to seamlessly integrate into an existing 1 Gb/s or 2 Gb/s infrastructure, enabling these environments to immediately benefit from its industry-leading performance and unparalleled functionality while providing customers with investment protection when SAN becomes 4Gb/s.
