IBM System Storage DS8000: Architecture and Implementation

This IBM® Redbooks® publication describes the concepts, architecture, and implementation of the IBM System Storage™ DS8000 series of disk storage subsystems. At the time of writing, the series includes the DS8100 and DS8300.

This book has reference information that will help you plan for, install, and configure the DS8000 system, and also discusses the architecture and components. It includes hints and tips derived from user experiences for efficient installation and use.

The DS8000 system is a cabinet-mounted self-contained disk storage subsystem. It is designed for the higher demands of data storage and data availability that most organizations face today.

The DS8000 series benefits by using IBM POWER5+™ processor technology with a dual two-way processor complex implementation in the DS8100 Turbo model 931 and with a dual four-way processor complex implementation in the DS8300 Turbo models 932 and 9B2. Its extended connectivity, with up to 128 Fibre Channel/FICON® ports, makes it suitable for multiple server environments in both the open systems and System z® environments. Depending on your specific needs, the DS8000 system can be equipped with SATA drives, FC drives, and now Solid® State Drives.

Its switched Fibre Channel architecture, dual processor complex implementation, high availability design, and the advanced Point-in-Time Copy and Remote Mirror and Copy functions that it incorporates make the DS8000 system suitable for mission-critical business functions.
