Abstract
The IBM System Storage N series Interoperability matrices are a source of information for customers to help select the best combination of integrated storage technologies to reduce expenses, increase efficiency and expedite storage infrastructure implementation.
The information in the matrices is intended to aid in the design of high quality solutions for leading storage platforms. It is also intended to help reduce solution design time by identifying supported combinations of N series machines with tape drives and libraries, storage subsystems and storage management, middleware and virus protection software, system management software, and other tested independent software vendor (ISV) applications.
