IBM System Storage N5500
The IBM System Storage N5500 has been architected to deliver NAS, FCP and iSCSI functionality for entry and midrange environments. The single-node Model G10 is upgradeable to the Model G20, which is a dual-node, clustered model intended to support failover and failback function to enhance reliability.
The IBM N5500 is a scalable model, allowing attachment of up to 336 logical unit numbers (LUNs). Both models available, the G10 and G20, provide rapid data access and simultaneous multiprotocol support with low maintenance needs.
