| N series solution |
Helps to reduce total cost of ownership and boosts productivity across your enterprise |
| N series solution technology differentiators |
Deliver the following customer benefits:
- Can cut storage spend in half, on average
- Thereby at least double utilization of storage assets – for example, one global software company achieved 400% utilization in some environments
- Can help to reduce ongoing capacity and operating expenses by an average of 50%, including power, cooling, and personnel costs
- Get more overall value out of existing storage
A global semiconductor company reduced the cost of its existing EMC infrastructure by 50% with N series technology. Find out more about how the company reduced its storage costs and adopted a modern approach to its storage infrastructure.

| How N series can do it |
- Cut storage capacity requirements by an average of 50% across primary, secondary, and archival storage environments using IBM System Storage N series Advanced Single Instance Storage (A-SIS)/deduplication capabilities, proven with 35,000 N series technology licenses
- Double storage utilization using IBM System Storage N series Thin Provisioning technology, adopted by >75% of potential users to date
- Optimize test and development processes and cut storage requirements through the use of N series virtual, space-efficient database cloning—one global IT company achieved 60% space savings for development and test environments
- Right-size data protection with IBM System Storage N series with RAID-DP®, which protects against dual-disk-drive failures and consumes up to 50% less storage than disk mirroring
- Leverage a unified storage architecture that requires a single approach, process, training, and tools to manage, provision, and protect storage

| What it means |
You can reduce capacity costs by 50% or more right now by:
- Optimizing what you already have
- Reducing your storage footprint by an average of 50% with A-SIS/deduplication
- Lowering your acquisition costs by nearly 50% with RAID-DP—without sacrificing protection
|
| You can help avoid additional capacity and operating costs over the next few years by: |
- Reducing your application development and test costs
- Cutting the amount of storage required at the replication target
- Buying less and creating savings in disk, power and cooling, and floor space costs as well as in admin cost and time
You can help boost productivity across your organization long-term by adopting a more efficient infrastructure today.
