The IBM 5198 TotalStorage Enterprise NAS Gateway 500 is a member of the IBM family of NAS storage products. This product is a specialized storage server that is designed to provide end-user clients and servers on an Ethernet LAN, access to storage resources on direct-attached or SAN-attached Fibre Channel storage disk subsystems and allocate storage on their behalf, on approved, predefined storage devices. The NAS Gateway 500 is designed to appear to clients on the LAN as a standard Network Attached Storage (NAS) device and behave as an efficient conduit between the clients and Fibre Channel storage systems such as the IBM FAStT product line, IBM Enterprise Storage Server, IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller, and the IBM TotalStorage SAN Integration Server.
