various locations where data reside.

and safely. The system integrates storage, server and software retention components into a 

single, securable cabinet.  

In April, IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server 750, designed to help customers in the 

midrange leverage many of the reliability and advanced functions of the Enterprise Storage 

Server while meeting the smaller capacity and price needs of new mainframe and other 

system servers.

In October, IBM TotalStorage DS6000 and DS8000 data storage systems that bridge the gap 

between once incompatible high end and midrange storage classes. (The DS6000 series  

begins at just 580GB and scales up to 67.2 terabytes in a box only slightly larger than a VCR. 

The DS8000 series is available in with dual two processor or dual four processor 

configurations, and can address over 96 petabytes of data    or more than 4,500 times the 

amount of information found in the Library of Congress.)

Drive, the industry's fastest midrange tape drive, offering up to 80 MB per second and

three seconds.

an entry level laser printer designed specifically for small businesses or work groups requiring a 

fast, reliable monochrome printing solution, with capabilities for the occasional color job; and
