Product Description
The IBM 1740-710-BASE-ESM, known as the TotalStorage DS4000 EXP710, is a dedicated storage expansion unit designed to augment the capacity of IBM's DS4000 series storage systems. Housed within a standard 3U rack-mountable chassis, this expansion unit provides a significant increase in storage potential by accommodating up to fourteen 3.5-inch hard drives. This allows organizations to scale their storage infrastructure efficiently without needing to replace their existing DS4000 controllers or core storage arrays. Connectivity is established via a 2Gb/s Fibre Channel interface, ensuring high-speed and reliable data transfer between the expansion unit and the host storage system. Fibre Channel technology is well-suited for enterprise storage environments due to its performance, low latency, and robust error checking capabilities. The EXP710 is designed to integrate seamlessly with compatible DS4000 controllers, presenting the additional drives as part of the overall storage pool managed by the host system. This expansion unit is an essential component for businesses experiencing rapid data growth and requiring a cost-effective method to expand their storage footprint. By leveraging the IBM EXP710, organizations can maintain optimal storage performance and availability while accommodating larger datasets, backups, and archives, thereby extending the life and utility of their existing storage investments.
