IBM System Storage N5500 Model G20 - NAS server

Model: 2865G20

IBM System Storage N5500 Model G20 - NAS - rack-mountable - RAID 4, DP - Gigabit Ethernet / 2Gb Fibre Channel - 6U

The IBM System Storage N5500 Model G20 is designed to provide identical function, but with the addition of the Clustered Failover (CFO) function. The N5500 Model G20 consists of two active/active processing nodes, designed to provide a high-availability environment, helping improve overall reliability. The N5500 Model G20 also supports a maximum of 336 LUNs, 8 GB of ECC memory, and eight backend Fiber Channel loops. This N5500 gateway models require an existing external storage infrastructure that can be heterogeneous. EXN expansion units are not attachable to the N5500 gateways. The N5500 Models G20 is the member of the IBM N series family. The model is specialized storage servers designed to provide end-user clients and servers on an Ethernet LAN access to storage resources attached to Fiber Channel SAN storage disk subsystems and allocate storage on their behalf, on approved, predefined storage devices. The N5500 gateways appear to clients on the LAN as a standard Network Attached Storage (NAS) device and behave as an efficient conduit between the clients and Fiber Channel storage systems.
