Both models are designed to provide fast data access, simultaneous multiprotocol support, expandability, upgradability, and low maintenance requirements. The two models of the N3400 are designed to provide: High data availability and system-level redundancy to help address the needs of business-critical and mission-critical applications IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 1

2 Single, integrated architecture to support concurrent block I/O and file serving over Ethernet and Fibre Channel SAN infrastructures High throughput and fast response times for database, , and technical applications 6 to 12 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) disk drives (via optional features) Support for both block I/O via Fibre Channel (FC) and Internet Small Computer System Interface (iscsi), and file I/O via CIFS, NFS, HTTP, and FTP protocols Support for maximums of 132 disk drives or 132 TB of physical storage capacity 8 GB of random access memory (per node) One backend FC loop for both models One SAS stack for both models Upgrade capability from Model A11 to Model A21 The N3400 storage controller supports the EXN1000 SATA storage expansion unit, the EXN2000 and EXN4000 FC storage expansion units, and the EXN3000 SAS/SATA storage expansion unit. These N series models are designed to provide fast data access, simultaneous multiprotocol support, expandability, upgradability, and low maintenance requirements. Additional functions, such as snapshot, mirroring, and business continuance capability, are available through optional licensed functions. Key prerequisites The IBM System Storage N3400 requires FC, NFS, CIFS, or iscsi protocol function. Planned availability date March 5, 2010 Availability of programs with an encryption algorithm in France is subject to French government approval. Description The IBM System Storage N3400 storage controllers are designed to interoperate with products capable of data transmission in the industry-standard iscsi, CIFS, FCP, and NFS protocols. These include the IBM System p, IBM System i (NFS only), IBM System x, and IBM System z (NFS only) servers. The N3400 storage controllers consist of the Model A11 and Model A21 and associated software. The Model A11 is designed to provide a single-node storage controller with iscsi support, and NFS, CIFS, and FCP support via optional features. The N3400 Model A11 is a 2U storage controller that must be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The base chassis includes: 2U, standard 19-inch rackmount enclosure Two 1.66 GHz Intel dual-core Xeon LV processors 8 GB random access ECC memory 4 integrated gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports Two integrated 4-Gbps small form factor (SFF) Fibre Channel ports One SAS port -- Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable (QSFP) One serial console port Two integrated Remote LAN Management (RLM) port IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 2

3 Redundant hot-swappable, auto-ranging power supplies and cooling fans The Model A11 may be upgraded to a Model A21. The upgrade from a Model A11 to a Model A21 is a disruptive upgrade. The Model A21 is designed to provide identical function as the N3400 Model A11, but with the addition of a second processor control module (PCM) and the Clustered Failover (CFO) licensed function. The Model A21 also supports a maximum of 136 drives. The Model A21 consists of two PCMs that are designed to provide failover and failback function, helping improve overall availability. The Model A21 is a 2U rackmountable storage controller. The Model A21 includes: 2U, standard 19-inch rackmount enclosure GHz Intel dual-core Xeon LV processors 16 GB random access ECC memory 8 integrated gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports 4 integrated 4-Gbps small form factor (SFF) Fibre Channel ports Two SAS ports -- QSFP Two serial console ports 4 integrated Remote LAN Management (RLM) port Redundant hot-swappable, auto-ranging power supplies and cooling fans The N3400 storage controller Models A11 and A21 can attach a maximum of 8 FC storage expansion units, either EXN1000, EXN2000, or EXN4000. The maximum number of EXN3000 SAS/SATA storage expansion units that can be attached is four. On the initial order of an N3400, either SAS-attached or FC-attached expansion units may be ordered, not both. Also, for an initial order, no more than six FCattached expansion units may be ordered. The EXN1000 storage expansion unit provides a 3U rack-mountable disk enclosure containing 5, up to a maximum of 14, serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) disk drives, either in 250 GB, 500 GB, 750 GB, or 1 TB physical capacities. The EXN2000 and EXN4000 storage expansion units provide a 3U rack-mountable disk enclosure containing 5, up to a maximum of 14, FC disk drives. The EXN2000 and EXN4000 support the following FC disk drive speeds and capacities: 15,000 revolutions per minute (15K RPM) of 144 GB, 300 GB, 450 GB, and 600 GB physical capacities 10,000 revolutions per minute (10K RPM) of 144 GB and 300 GB physical capacities The EXN3000 storage expansion unit is a 4U rack-mountable disk enclosure containing 5, and up to a maximum of 24, SAS or SATA disk drives. The supported disk drives are: SAS: 144 GB, 300 GB, 450 GB, and 600 GB physical capacities SATA: 500 GB, 750 GB, and 1 TB physical capacities Each EXNx000 storage expansion unit contains a maximum of 14 (24 for SAS) disk drives, all of a particular type (rotational speed and capacity). For the initial order of the IBM System Storage N3400, you may not include EXNx000 storage expansion units containing more than two types (rotational speed and capacity) of disk drives. The maximum raw storage capacity of the N3400 system is determined by the maximum number of disk drives supported (136) and a maximum physical storage limit of 136 TB. Both limits must be honored. The following table describes the maximum supported total physical storage capacity for the N3400 Model A11 and Model A21: IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 3

SnapRestore is designed to help users recover data, from individual files to multi-terabyte volumes, using snapshot copies, to help allow quick resumption of operations. This feature is also used for maintenance billing purposes. SnapVault features SnapVault provides a centralized disk-based backup solution for heterogeneous storage environments. Storing backup data in multiple snapshot copies on the SnapVault secondary storage system from multiple SnapVault primary systems helps let enterprises keep weeks of backups online for fast restoration. Backing up multiple SnapVault primary storage systems to a single SnapShot copy on a large SnapVault secondary storage system can help allow enterprises to centralize their backup and restore operations in a single location. SnapVault primary storage systems can be local or remote N3400 storage controllers, Windows servers, or UNIX servers connected via a LAN or a WAN. The SnapVault secondary storage system can also be located at a remote disaster recovery site to help protect against production site failures. SnapVault Primary and SnapVault Secondary may be concurrently installed on an N3400 Model A21. This allows data to be backed up from one node of the Model A21 to the other node. Each must be installed on its own node, that is, SnapVault Primary must be installed on one of the two nodes and SnapVault Secondary on the other. They may never both be installed on the same node. Data ONTAP 7.2.1, or later, is required.
