Figure 1. DS8000 series architecture
The DS8000 series architecture has the following major benefits.
• Server foundation
– Promotes high availability and high performance by using field-proven Power servers
– Reduces custom components and design complexity
– Positions the storage system to reap the benefits of server technology advances
• Operating environment
– Promotes high availability and provides a high-quality base for the storage system software through a
field-proven AIX operating-system kernel
– Provides an operating environment that is optimized for Power servers, including performance and
reliability, availability, and serviceability
– Provides shared processor (SMP) efficiency
– Reduces custom code and design complexity
– Uses Power firmware and software support for networking and service functions

DS8910F Rack Mounted model 993

The DS8910F Rack Mounted storage system is an entry-level, high-performance storage system that
includes only High Performance Flash Enclosures Gen2.
The DS8910F Rack Mounted storage system can be integrated into an IBM Z model ZR1 or IBM LinuxONE
Rockhopper II model LR1, or another standard 19-inch wide rack that conforms to EIA 310D
specifications to take advantage of the DS8910F advanced features while limiting datacenter footprint
and power infrastructure requirements. This modular rack-mountable enterprise storage system features
8-core processors and supports one High Performance Flash Enclosure Gen2 pair with the model ZR1 or
LR1 installation, or up to two High Performance Flash Enclosure Gen2 pair with the standard 19-inch wide
rack installation, with up to 96 Flash Tier 0, Flash Tier 1, or Flash Tier 2 drives. The modular system
contains processor nodes, an I/O Enclosure, High Performance Flash Enclosures Gen2, and a
Management Enclosure (which includes the HMCs, Ethernet Switches, and RPCs). The HMCs are small
form factor computers. The DS8910F Rack Mounted storage system requires a minimum of 15U
contiguous rack space.
