IBM - 00L4576 - V7000 G1 300 Node Canister (10GB/8GB FC)

The IBM 00L4576 V7000 G1 300 Node Canister is a refurbished controller canister for IBM Storwize V7000 Gen1 storage systems, providing both 10Gb Ethernet and 8Gb Fibre Channel (8Gb FC) host connectivity. It is typically used as a like-for-like replacement node to restore controller redundancy after a failure, or to keep a consistent hardware baseline across multi-array environments in data centers and enterprise server rooms.

For lifecycle sourcing around installed V7000 Gen1 platforms, you can also align this spare with related IBM infrastructure parts commonly used in the same environment. In mixed SAN/IP deployments, the combination of 10GbE and 8Gb FC interfaces supports common integration patterns where FC fabrics coexist with Ethernet-based storage networks.

Key Features

Key technical characteristics of this V7000 G1 node canister for professional storage maintenance and integration:

• IBM Storwize V7000 Gen1 300 node canister design to restore controller redundancy and keep arrays operational during maintenance windows.
• 10Gb Ethernet connectivity to support IP-based storage integration where applicable in V7000 G1 environments.
• 8Gb Fibre Channel connectivity to attach to enterprise FC SAN fabrics used for host access.
• Compatible with IBM Storwize V7000 Gen1 controller enclosures to support like-for-like node replacement in the V7000 G1 family.
• Designed for V7000 Gen1 deployments, including examples such as IBM Storwize V7000 G1 2076 model families, to maintain hardware consistency across installed bases.
• Controller canister form factor intended for modular serviceability to reduce downtime when swapping a node in supported enclosures.
• Enterprise storage controller role to manage host I/O paths and array services for predictable operation in 24/7 environments.
• Suitable for maintenance providers and system integrators to keep spare parts aligned with installed IBM Storwize V7000 G1 fleets.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished parts are a practical choice for extending the lifecycle of existing IBM storage environments, controlling budget compared to buying new, and reducing electronic waste.

Direct Hardware Supply ships worldwide from Denmark and supplies refurbished enterprise hardware for data centers, integrators, and maintenance providers. This product includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request.

To complete a Storwize V7000 maintenance or expansion order, related components such as RAID CONTROLLER, enterprise SSD, and capacity-focused HDD options can help keep performance and media types aligned across the array.
