With the acquisition of Engenio’s storage division by NetApp on May 9, 2011, the OEM partnership between IBM and NetApp now spans over 14 years. These OEM agreements allow IBM to sell IBM branded solutions based on NetApp technology along with the associated services offerings for these products. New enhancements will continue to be added to the IBM portfolio as they become available.  Combining IBM’s portfolio of server, software, and services technologies with NetApp’s storage solutions creates a compelling value proposition for customers. IBM and NetApp have put in place dedicated resources worldwide to work jointly on opportunities and marketing activities.  NetApp’s leadership in providing storage solutions helps to create greater value to IBM’s overall storage portfolio. In addition, with IBM's global market reach, service organization and technology portfolio, IBM also has the ability to reach into more countries than any other OEM reseller for NetApp. IBM and NetApp are committed to continuing to receive the mutual benefits of this strategic relationship. We are available to have a call with you if this will assist you in your decision-making processes.  Laura Guio  IBM Systems & Technology Group, Storage Platform  Vice President and Business Line Executive, Storage  Bob Sarubbi  Vice President  IBM Global Alliance, NetApp 66 © 2013 IBM Corporation Solution Overview 7 © 2013 IBM Corporation IBM System Storage™ N series Portfolio Storage solutions that deliver simplified data management across the entire enterprise N series systems offer* N6210 & Gateway N6240 & Gateway N6270 & Gateway N7950T & Gateway N series Gateways – Repurpose existing 3rd party storage functionality by creating a virtualized N series environment Support for IBM, EMC, HP, Hitachi , 3Par,and Fujitsu storage systems  Network Protocols: NAS, iSCSI, FC SAN ..… concurrently  Single Operating system  Tightly integrated with enterprise applications - SnapManager for SQL, SAP, Virtual Infrastructure, etc  Common System/storage management tools  Multiple RAID levels … including double parity N3150 N3220 & N3240 N6210 N6240 N6270 N7950T 180TB 374TB & 432TB 720TB 1800TB 2880TB 4.3PB New N6220/50 8  Proven Disaster Recovery with SnapMirror  Deduplication © 2013 IBM Corporation Unified storage SAN (FCP, FCoE and iSCSI) NAS (CIFS and NFS) Enterprise Enterprise Departmental Dedicated Ethernet Corporate LAN Departmental iSCSI Fibre Channel SAN (Block) NAS (File) IBM N series 9 © 2013 IBM Corporation Shelf Topology Comparison N Series Controller FC Port (on-board or HBA) FC Connect 2 (dual/multipath) ports per loop per controller SAS Port (quad-port HBA) SAS stack SAS stack EXN 4000 Family 10 shelf (240 spindle) limit per stack SAS/SATA HDD SAS/SATA HDD 3,5“ Disks 24X HDD SAS/SATA HDD 3,5“ Disks 14X HDD SAS/SATA HDD EXN3500 SAS/SATA HDD EXN3000 SAS/SATA HDD EXN4000 FC HDD IOM6 (2x) FC HDD IOM3 (2x) IOM6 (2x) FC HDD ESH4 (2x) 6 shelf (84 spindle) limit per loop 10 SAS Connect Dual/Multipath only 2 ports per controller per stack No interconnectivity between FC and SAS FC loop SAS Port (quad-port HBA) 2,5“ Disks 24X HDD 10 shelf (240 spindle) limit per stack • Note that SAS/SATA drives cannot be mixed in the same shelf • EXN3000 and EXN3500 shelves must not be intermixed on the same stack • With SSD only 4 shelf per stack EXN3000/3500 Family © 2013 IBM Corporation 10 Storage Efficiency Save up to 46% Save up to 33% Save up to 95% RAID-DP® Protection (RAID-6) Protects against double disk failure with no performance penalty.
