The IBM System Storage DS3200 Model 21X is a reliable and scalable hard drive array designed for medium to large businesses requiring efficient data storage solutions. This device supports both expansion and flexibility, making it a go-to option for companies looking to enhance their storage capacities efficiently. The key feature of this model is its capability to connect up to three EXP3000 enclosures, offering seamless scalability for growing demands. This significantly increases the total number of drives and storage capacity managed by a single unit.
Built using SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) technology, the DS3200 Model 21X delivers high-performance data transmission, which ensures quick access and reduced latency under heavy workloads. The storage system supports the attachment of 12 3.5-inch disk drives within its compact chassis, giving organisations flexibility in choosing storage configurations. It also supports both dual-port SAS drives and SATA drives, offering a wide range of options for achieving either high performance or cost-effective storage at a larger scale.
Designed with enterprise-grade reliability, the DS3200 Model 21X features redundant, hot-swappable components such as dual power supplies and cooling modules, ensuring system uptime even when a part needs to be replaced. In addition, the unit provides data protection through various RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10, offering diverse configurations that balance performance and redundancy.
For connectivity, the DS3200 Model 21X offers four 3Gb SAS host interfaces that allow high-speed connections to up to four directly attached servers. Physically compact yet robust, this model is ideal for data centres, providing high performance with the ability to expand as needed without compromising on data security.
