IBM System Storage N series Gateways
The IBM System Storage N series Gateway products are based on the same technology as
our N series appliance models and provide a tremendous amount of flexibility by allowing
attachment to fibre channel attached storage subsystems. All N series Gateway systems utilize a single operating system across the entire platform and offer a combination of multiple
advanced function software features that provide one of the industries most multifaceted
storage platforms ranging from comprehensive system management, storage management,
onboard and outboard copy services, virtualization technologies and disaster recovery and
backup solutions.
The N series systems are designed to support a mix of muti-vendor storage subsystems
(including IBM, Hitachi and HP) and allow you the ability to serve fibre channel-based SAN
storage to clients and servers over an IP network. In many cases this greatly reduces the
expense of attaching small expensive servers to a fibre channel network thus eliminating the
costly need for additional Microsoft Client Access Licenses (CAL), HBA’s and additional FC
switched ports. Thus allowing connection to fibre channel attached storage at a fraction of
the cost.
In simple terms, the N series Gateways bridge the gap between servers attached to an IP
network and storage devices attached to a fibre channel network providing you the cost efficiency of IP and the performance and growth potential of fibre channel.
NOTES: *Systems are based on dual clustered storage controllers. Divide all numbers by 1/2if a single
storage controller system is ordered. A single controller can be easily upgraded to a dual controller system as your computing needs increase. The dual controller is a fully redundant system and is designed
to provide failover and failback capabilities. The N3700 Interoperability Matrix and the N5000
Interoperability Matrix can be found at the following web site: ibm.com/storage/nas
