It can fit many use cases. We sell the IBM System Storage DS5000 Series to midmarket companies. However, it's a very enterprise-like product, so it covers many companies here in Denmark.

Some service providers use it for on-premises daily work with CIM systems, minor ERP systems, Office, etc. We have production companies that use it as well.

It's a storage box with multiple loft space. It is connected with the fiber optic solution. We have fiber optic switches and they are directly connected with that.

We also do the flash copy using that storage. For example, I will read the data backup of our current system and store it on the back. There's one wall of volume over there, which will boot when we are taking a backup and then it shut down automatically. After that, we can make a copy on a tape.
