This series was formerly designed as a line of cabinet-size solutions, prior to the more compact and affordable rack-mount DS6000 series.[1] In 2015 the DS6000 line were discontinued, and the all-flash entry-level DS8882F model was released as a rack-mount successor of DS6000 line.
All IBM DS storage lines are based on an IBM Power CPU and use IBM Power Systems servers as controllers.
