IBM TotalStorage FAStT100 Storage Server is designed to give cost-conscious enterprises an entry-level server that can help meet storage consolidation and near-line application storage needs without undo expense, while leaving them room to grow. With up to 14TB of Serial ATA (SATA) physical disk storage, and 14 internal 250GB disk drives inside the controller, the FAStT100 helps provide ample yet scalable storage without the cost of extra expansion units. This storage server is also designed to help consolidate direct-attached storage into a centrally managed, shared or Storage Area Network (SAN) environment. And with four Fiber Channel ports to attach to servers, the need for additional switches can be reduced or eliminated for additional cost savings.
