IBM downsizes storage

The TotalStorage DS6000 ultra-dense server system is "slightly larger than a VCR", according to IBM. The big brother to the system is the TotalStorage DS8000 series that provides clients with virtualised storage pools consolidated from smaller systems, and can address up to 96 petabytes of data.
