Room to grow with configurations ranging from 520 GB to 55.9 TB. Back to top Description The ESS Model 800 - The Third Generation of IBM Intelligent Storage The ESS Model 800 is the third generation of the ESS and builds upon the functionality, stability, reliability, and proven track record of the earlier models. The Model 800 integrates a new generation of hardware, including a standard processor (with an optional Turbo and Turbo II feature), 64 GB cache, 2 GB Non Volatile Storage (NVS), increased internal bandwidth, and 2Gb Fibre Channel/FICON Host Adapters. This hardware, when combined with RAID 10 support and 15,000 rpm drives, enables the Model 800 to deliver excellent levels of performance and throughput. The Model 800 supports up to 55.9 TB of physical capacity that can be configured as RAID 5, RAID 10, or a combination of both. RAID 5 remains a price/performance leader, offering excellent performance for most customer applications, while RAID 10 can offer better performance for selected applications. Price, performance, and capacity can further be optimized to meet specific application and business requirements through the intermix of 18.2, 36.4, 72.8, and 145.6 GB drives operating at 10,000 or 15,000 rpm. Yet with all this, the fundamental design of the ESS remains unchanged. The Model 800 supports 24 x 7 operations with a design that avoids single points of failure by providing component redundancy. The Model 800 also maintains the advanced functions that deliver business continuance solutions (FlashCopy, FlashCopy Version 2, PPRC, PPRC Version 2, PPRC Extended Distance, and XRC), as well as FICON, Parallel Access Volumes (PAV), multiple allegiance, and I/O priority queuing to offer great performance in the zSeries and S/390 environments. The Model 800 Delivers Excellent Levels of Performance and Throughput The Model 800 provides significantly increased throughput and improved response times relative to the Model F20. The Model 800 delivers up to 2 times the throughput of the Model F20, and with the optional Turbo processor feature, up to 2.5 times the throughput of the Model F20 can be achieved. This allows you to scale the Model 800 to twice as large as the Model F20 -- and still achieve better response times! The Model 800 also provides a Turbo II Processor option, a follow-on replacement to the Turbo Processor. The Turbo II Processor offers up to a 30% improvement for high-hit ratio and high operations per second workloads as compared to the Standard Processor in a Model 800. Processor option feature conversions are available to enable existing Model 800 machines to exploit this enhancement. In addition to the response time and scalability improvements provided for database workloads, the Model 800 also offers significant improvements for applications requiring high sequential bandwidth. When combined with other IBM performance innovations such as FICON, PAV, and I/O priority queueing, batch job elapsed times can be decreased by 50% or more. And, improvements in per fibre port throughput and total box throughput can help enable the consolidation of data from digital media, business intelligence, data warehousing, and life sciences applications into fewer systems. Key features and performance enhancements of the Model 800 include: Updated hardware provides response time improvements up to 40% for important database applications Optional Turbo II processor feature provides up to a 30% improvement for high-hit ratios and high operations per second workloads compared to the Standard Processor. Optional Turbo processor feature provides up to 2.5 times the throughput of the Model F20 for increased scalability and improved response times. 64 GB cache supports much larger system configurations and increases hit ratios, driving down response times. 3.2 GB/second internal bandwidth provides high sequential throughput for digital media, business intelligence, data warehousing, and life sciences applications. Larger NVS with twice the bandwidth allows greater scalability for write-intensive applications. 2Gb/second Fibre Channel/FICON host adapters provide doubled per-fibre sustained and instantaneous throughput for both open systems and zSeries environments. RAID 10 provides up to 75% greater throughput for database workloads compared to equal physical capacity configured as RAID 5. While most typical workloads will experience excellent response times with RAID 5, cache-unfriendly applications and applications with high random write content can benefit from the performance offered by RAID 10. 15,000 rpm drives provide up to 80% greater throughput per RAID rank and 40% improved response times as compared to 10,000 rpm drives. This allows you to drive your workloads to significantly higher access densities, while also experiencing improved response times. With up to 125% greater write throughput, PPRC provides excellent response times for a synchronous remote copy solution with random workloads. Additionally, FlashCopy establish and elapsed background copy times can be reduced by up to 50%. Ability to configure large zSeries logical volumes and large LUNs without materially compromising performance. 15,000 rpm Drives Offer Additional Levels of Throughput and Performance The 15,000 rpm drives, which are available in 18.2, 36.4, and 72.8 GB capacities, offer levels of throughput and performance that can translate into price/performance benefits for the entire system. An ESS populated with eight RAID 5 ranks of 18.2 or 36.4 GB, 15,000 rpm drives can provide up to 80% greater total system random throughput for a cache standard workload than a comparably configured ESS with 10,000 rpm drives. The 72.8 GB, 15,000 rpm drives can provide up to 20% greater random throughput than a comparably configured ESS with 10,000 rpm drives. An ESS populated with eight RAID 5 ranks of 72.8 GB, 15,000 rpm drives can provide up to 25% better service time for a cache standard workload than a similarly configured ESS with comparable capacity consisting of 16 ranks of 36 GB, 10,000 rpm drives. These drives can help you drive your workloads at significantly higher access densities (without performance degradation) and fewer disk drives may be required to achieve high disk utilization rates, which can lead to cost savings. Reduced response times may also be realized, providing shorter batch processing windows or improved productivity because transactions complete more quickly. Extensive Connectivity with 2Gb Fibre Channel/FICON Support For Higher Performance SANs The Model 800 follows in the footsteps of the earlier ESS models with extensive connectivity support -- including Fibre Channel, FICON, ESCON, SCSI, iSCSI, and NAS -- across a broad range of server environments -- including zSeries and S/390, pSeries and RS/6000, iSeries and AS/400, xSeries and other Intel-based servers, Sun, Hewlett-Packard, and Compaq AlphaServer. This rich support of heterogeneous environments and attachments, along with the flexibility to easily partition the ESS storage capacity among the attached environments in any combination using the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server Specialist (ESS Specialist), helps support storage consolidation requirements and dynamic, changing environments. The Model 800 further enhances this broad set of connectivity options with support for 2Gb Fibre Channel and FICON. The 2Gb Fibre Channel/FICON Host Adapters, which are offered in long-wave and short-wave, auto-negotiate to either 2Gb or 1Gb link speeds. The flexibility enables immediate exploitation of the benefits offered by higher performance, 2Gb SAN-based solutions, while also maintaining compatibility with existing 1Gb infrastructures. As 2Gb capability on servers and fabric components is introduced into existing SANs, your investment in ESS fibre adapters is protected and migration is simplified.
