The IBM 1814-72A is a 3U rack-mounted SAN storage array with 16 drive bays and dual Fibre Channel controllers supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, and 6 configurations. Designed for mid-range enterprise environments, it connects via Fibre Channel (typically 2Gb or 4Gb depending on controller configuration) and scales capacity with 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drives. The array supports hot-swap drive replacement and provides redundant power supplies and cooling modules for high-availability data center deployments. Common use cases include backup, archival, database acceleration, and tiered storage within FC SAN fabrics. Part number 1814-72A is compatible with IBM's legacy and current enterprise storage management software stacks.
