The IBM System Storage DS3200 Model 22T - hard drive array, part number 172622T, is a versatile and reliable storage solution designed for small to medium-sized businesses requiring scalable and efficient data storage. This storage array is part of the DS3000 series and supports a wide range of working environments by delivering exceptional SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) performance, making it suitable for both demanding applications and data-intensive tasks.
The DS3200 Model 22T offers dual hot-swappable controllers, enhancing its reliability and allowing for uninterrupted operations even during maintenance or replacements. Each controller comes with cache memory that significantly improves data access speeds by temporarily storing frequently accessed data, reducing latency during intensive operations.
This storage array is capable of holding up to 12 disk drives within a 2U rack-mountable chassis, which offers a compact and space-efficient solution for growing data storage needs. It supports both SAS and SATA drives, allowing users to configure a combination of high-performance or cost-effective disks based on specific business application needs.
Moreover, the DS3200 Model 22T allows for flexible connectivity options, including SAS host connections for direct server-attached configurations. Thanks to its scalability options, users can expand their storage capacity with additional expansion units, extending the platform’s usefulness as storage requirements grow.
The DS3200 is known for its robust RAID support (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), which provides enhanced data protection by allowing users to configure various RAID levels, ensuring data integrity and minimal downtime in the event of drive failures. Additionally, its hot-swap capability ensures that failing drives can be replaced without disrupting operations.
