Small enterprises looking for entry-level storage or for highly demanding solutions with global support should consider IBM. However, a large number of the solutions IBM offers are Fibre Channel-centric. Due to the higher costs associated with Fibre Channel based storage systems, such products are not going to be of interest to a majority of small enterprises. Consider IBM for a solid traditional storage solution from an experienced vendor.

Key points of this note include:

  • IBM's position among SAN vendors.
  • A summary of IBM products.
  • IBM strengths and weaknesses.

As vendors work to package the benefits of consolidated storage into solutions that have small enterprise price points, Info-Tech takes a look at the offerings of 14 vendors in this space. This research note examines the strengths and challenges of storage solution provider IBM.
