Product Description
The IBM 44W2170 is a specialized iSCSI RAID controller specifically designed to integrate with and enhance the capabilities of the IBM DS3300 (Type 1726) storage system. This controller plays a crucial role in managing the storage array, providing robust RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) functionality to protect data against drive failures and improve overall storage performance through data striping and mirroring. By leveraging iSCSI technology, the 44W2170 allows the DS3300 storage system to connect to servers over standard Ethernet networks, offering a cost-effective and flexible alternative to Fibre Channel in certain environments. This enables efficient block-level storage access, making it suitable for various applications including virtualization, databases, and file sharing. Installation of the 44W2170 controller within the DS3300 chassis unlocks advanced features such as RAID level configuration (e.g., RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10), hot-swapping of drives, and online capacity expansion. It is a key component for ensuring data availability, integrity, and optimal performance for the connected servers.
