New performance benefits

For growing storage environments, the

IBM System x3650 NAS offers flexibility

and reliability. Separating dedicated file-

serving functions from application oper-

ations relieves the CPU from being

overburdened. With the Windows®

Storage Server 2003 R2 Operating

System and IBM Tivoli® CDP transpar-

ent backup software, achieve higher

performance and save valuable network

bandwidth and critical user productivity.

Simple management and maintenance

IBM storage servers offer many of the

benefits of shared pool storage solu-

tions like storage area networks (SANs)

but without complicated installation and

administration. These also support het-

erogeneous clients and servers utilizing

common network access protocols:

NFS for UNIX® and Linux® servers,

and CIFS. A remotely accessible User

Interface helps manage print and file

quotas and easily integrate into existing

AD environments.

Protect your IT investment

Protect clients’ infrastructure, including

the server and end-user data. The pre-

configured ServerProven® hardware

and IBM ServeRAID™ reliability make

this an optimized solution that

decreases capital equipment costs and

reduces IT staff hours. By making stor-

age devices LAN addressable, this

frees storage from direct attachment to

a consolidated server and enables any-

to-any connectivity, which can be clus-

tered for failover redundancy.

Select configurations of the x3650 NAS

are part of the IBM Express Portfolio™,

designed and priced to meet the needs

of midsized businesses.
