IBM System Storage DS5020

1. IBM DS5020 Hardware detail

The DS5000 series of storage servers use Redundant Array of Independent
Disks (RAID) technology. RAID technology is used to protect the user data from disk
drive failures. DS4000 Storage Servers contain Fibre Channel (FC) interfaces to
connect both the host systems and external disk drive enclosures.

IBM System Storage SAN24B-4

The IBM System Storage SAN24B-4 is a cost-effective and highly-scalable 1,

2, 4, or 8 Gbit/sec switch, designed for small to mid-sized businesses. It runs on the
Fabric Operating System (Fabric OS) and is compatible with other IBM switches,
which enables seamless connectivity into heterogeneous SAN environments. This
switch is a dual purpose device that you can use either as a full-functioned switch or
as an N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) access gateway. When functioning as an
access gateway, the it provides a single platform for all SAN connectivity
