DS6000 Multimedia Overview (length 3 min)

The new IBM TotalStorage DS6000 series is designed to support both mainframe and open systems. It is enterprise class storage in an amazingly small package, which means that the dramatically reduced size of the DS6000 series is very space efficient. In fact, it uses as little as 4% as much space as some comparable enterprise offerings at 5 Terabytes. Plus it's as little as one-tenth the weight of some of these offerings. The new DS6000 is designed to provide enterprise-class functionality at a very competitive price. Intended for medium to large businesses, the DS6000 series can help simplify your data management. For example, you'll benefit from having one common set of management and administration tools. And to help secure your valuable assets, it offers broad data protection and recovery capabilities. At a fraction of the size of some competitive systems, it is designed to deliver excellent performance and ease of scalability to help make you more competitive in the on demand world.
