| The FAStT600 is a mid-level storage server that can scale to over
eight terabytes of fibre channel disk using 3 EXP700s, over sixteen terabytes
of fibre channel disk with the Turbo feature using 7 EXP700s. It uses
the latest in storage networking technology to provide an end-to-end 2
Gbps Fibre Channel solution. As part of the IBM FAStT family, the Model
600 with Turbo uses the same common storage management software and high
performance hardware design, providing clients with enterprise like capabilities
found in high end models, but at a much lower cost. The new FAStT Storage
Manager v8.4 enables up to 256 logical volumes (LUNs) per storage partition,
definition of array groups greater than 2TB, and SCSI-3 Persisitent Reservation.
FlashCopy with VolumeCopy, a new function for a complete logical volume
copy within the FAStT Storage Server is available on the FAStT600 Turbo.
Coupled with the EXP100 the FAStT600 and FAStT600 with Turbo feature
allows you to configure RAID protected storage solutions of up to 28 TB
to help provide economical and scalable storage for your rapidly growing
application needs for limited access, data reference, and near-line storage.
- Up to 70% performance improvement with new FSM v8.4 that ships with
TurboWith the High Availability (HA) model, supports
- Higher disk Fibre Channel scalability over base FAStT600, scalable
to 16.4TB of Fibre Channel diskHelps support continuous availability
with redundant, hot-swappable components
- FAStT600 and FAStT600 with Turbo feature can scale up to 28 terabytes
of Serial ATA disk storage by attaching 8 EXP100s
- Increased cache from 512MB on base FAStT600 to 2GB on Turbo
- Autonomic functions such as Dynamic Volume Expansion and Dynamic Capacity
Addition, allowing unused storage to be brought on-line without stopping
operations, and FAStT Service Alert, which is capable of automatically
alerting IBM if a problem occurs
- Host interface on base FAStT600 is 2Gb, Turbo auto senses to connect
to 1Gb or 2Gb
- Support for UNIX platforms (AIX, Sun, HP), Windows and Linux environments,
making it the most interoperable solution in its class
- Up to 64 storage partitions with Turbo
