Why Gateway vs. General Purpose Filer Server
 A single Gateway supports Unix, Linux and
Windows file protocols
 Potentially reducing the number of servers required
for accessing SAN storage in mixed protocol
environments
Clients & Servers
Unix
Windows
 Connecting small inexpensive servers to
premium priced SAN storage is very costly.
Linux
IP
 FC HBAs, FC switch ports… costs could exceed
the actual cost of server
.
N series Gateway
 A single Gateway extends the reach of SAN
storage to many servers attached to an IP
network
FC
 Potentially reducing overall connection costs
 Allowing access to SAN storage at extended
distances
 A Gateway provides functionality of N series
technology to other vendor storage
subsystems
 A Gateway provides increased protection
investment in SAN storage by increasing
SAN utilization & accessibility

 Disk sanitization is the process of physically obliterating data
by overwriting disks with specified byte patterns or random
data in a manner that helps prevents recovery of current data
by any known recovery methods.
 This feature is designed to enable you to carry out disk
sanitization by using three successive byte overwrite patterns
per cycle and a default six cycles per operation

 MultiStore is designed to let you quickly and easily
create separate, private logical partitions in filer
network and storage resources.
 Each virtual storage partition is designed to maintain
separation from every other storage partition to
prevent different enterprise departments that share
the same storage resources from accessing or
finding other partitions.
 MultiStore helps prevent information on any virtual
partition from being viewed, used or downloaded by
an unauthorized users.
 Similar to LUN masking on a Block Storage System

SnapDrive™
 SnapDrive is designed to allow administrators to easily create virtual
disks from pools of storage that an be distributed among several
storage appliances.
 Designed to allow optimized usage in database environments
®
 Virtualized “local” disk to Windows servers (FCP or iSCSI).
Storage managed by SnapDrive logically appears to come from a
locally attached storage subsystem.
 Designed to enable you to schedule and automate Exchange
database backups, use policy-based backup retention
management, and simplify the migration of existing databases to
IBM N series systems.
SnapManager®
 Host software for managing Exchange and SQL Server backup and
restore. SnapManager software simplifies Exchange data protection
by automating processes to provide hands-off, worry-free data
management.
SnapValidator™
 SnapValidator detects and prevents potential
corruptions of Oracle data before they happen.
 Oracle system assigns a unique value to each write
request based on the sum of the data and sends the
data set down the I/O path to the N series system.
Upon receipt, SnapValidator calculates the sum of the
data and compares it to the Oracle value.
42
 With SnapDrive you add, delete, map, unmap, and mirror virtual disks
online. You can expand capacity on-the-fly with no impact to
application or system performance.
 SnapManager also delivers built-in high availability, with features
that allow you to expand Exchange databases online.
 It also offers tight integration with Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS)
and Multi Path I/O (MPIO) and with the N series Clustered Failover
option and SnapMirror for simplified disaster recovery
implementation.
 SnapValidator meets Oracle
HARD initiative and provides the
highest possible level of
protection for Oracle data.
 If the identifiers do not match,
the system prevents the data
corruption and produces an alert.

Single Mailbox Recovery for Exchange (SMBR)
N series
 Enables the recovery of a single mailbox from a Microsoft
Exchange Information Store.
 Unlike Lotus Domino where every mailbox is stored as a
separate database (and therefore is implicitly recoverable as a
unit by itself), Exchange clumps several mailboxes together
into .edb files and .stm files.
.

SMBR
Software
 This makes recovery of a single user’s mailbox extremely cumbersome and in most cases impossible unless
there is some brick-level backup software in place.
 With SMBR, no brick-level (transaction level) backup is required.
 SMBR can extract a single mailbox or email directly and rapidly from an Exchange Information Store.
