Storage servers housing 24 SAS hard disk drives per server. A typical Serial Attached SCSI system consists of the following basic components: An initiator: a device that originates device-service and task-management requests for processing by a target device and receives responses for the same requests from other target devices.
SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is the interface architecture used to transmit data from the storage controllers to the disk drives in the Adaptable Modular Storage 2000 family. The SAS interface is a full duplex, point-to-point architecture with up to 9600 MB/sec of total system bandwidth and up to 32 links available for concurrent I/O activity.
Each storage pool is tiered based on the performance characteristics of the storage technology used, with SSD-based storage at the top “extreme performance tier,” serial-attached SCSI (SAS) in the middle “performance tier” and near line SAS (NL-SAS) in the bottom “capacity tier.” RAID protection is applied at the tier level.

Direct-attached storage (DAS) is digital storage directly attached to the computer accessing it, as opposed to storage accessed over a computer network (i.e. network-attached storage). DAS consists of one or more storage units such as hard drives , solid-state drives , optical disc drives within an external enclosure .
At the heart of the system is the HiStar E-Network, a network crossbar switch matrix. This storage platform is made up of different technologies than USP and USP V. The connectivity to back-end disks is via 6 Gbit/s SAS links instead of 4 Gbit/s Fibre Channel loop. The internal processors are now Intel multi-core processors, and in addition to ...
The IBM System Storage TS2230 Tape Drive, Model Type 3580, Model H3V, is a high-performance, high-capacity data-storage device that is designed to backup and restore open systems applications. It is the third generation in the Ultrium series of products, and is available with a Serial Attached SCSI interface (SAS).
Storage: Up to 48 TB of physical storage per enclosure using 4 TB near-line SAS disk drives, or up to 28.8 TB physical storage per enclosure using 1.2 TB SAS 10K disk drives Control enclosures support attachment of up to 9 expansion enclosures with configurations up to 360 TB physical internal storage capacities (for Storwize V7000, up to 1.44 ...
Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) [1] is an IBM direct-access storage device (DASD) file storage access method, first used in the OS/VS1, OS/VS2 Release 1 (SVS) and Release 2 (MVS) operating systems, later used throughout the Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) architecture and now in z/OS.
