4Gb Fibre Channel interface technology
The IBM System Storage DS4200 disk storage system supports a highperformance 4 Gbps Fibre Channel interface for increased host connectivity to deliver necessary bandwidth for high throughput applications. Designed for data-intensive applications that demand increased connectivity provided by four 4 Gbps host channels designed to provide up to 1600 MBps of sustained bandwidth for high throughput applications through the four channels directly attached to the host servers or connected to a Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN).

Not too big. Not too small. Designed for mid-sized business, the IBM Express PortfolioT of offerings is just right.

Designed to help lower your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
The IBM System Storage DS4200 Disk Storage System offers customers a SAN solution to take advantage of the performance offered by 4 Gbps technology. The IBM DS4200 4 Gbps SAN product is designed to offer up to 1600 MBps throughput with up to 121,500 IOPS (input/output per second). A 4 Gbps storage array requires as few as half the number of ports compared to a 2 Gbps storage array to deliver equal throughput. This frees up ports in the SAN for each array.
