IBM 68Y8481 1746 Ds3500 Storage Controller

the IV MDS 3500 storage system is designed to handle any type of i/o load it will respond quickly and transfer data rapidly it sets a new standard for price performance value and it does this thanks to an architecture designed for speed and efficiency i'm going to show you just a couple of the ways that the d/s 3500 hardware moves io through the system and how that leads to unmatched efficiency the efficiency and power of the DS 3500 starts in the controller the board itself is designed for maximum performance each DS 3500 comes with a pair of SAS mini ports for host io traffic each one of these ports actually contains four independent lanes of six gigabit per second SAS connectivity that's a total of forty-eight gigabits per second just out of the box these ports directly linked to the chip at the heart of this system a way for design first and foremost for handling I owe this chip lin
