IBM Storage FlashSystem Overview

What is IBM Storage FlashSystem?

Organizations today are expected to run more workloads than their current IT infrastructure can support. As a result, they are forced to make complicated choices about which workloads to run or buy additional purpose-built hardware; this leads to a continual bloat of IT infrastructure, inefficient use of floorspace, and increased power and cooling costs. Businesses are in need of enterprise-grade storage with flexible deployment options and economics that fit any IT budget. IBM Storage FlashSystem is an all-flash storage array that delivers almost 2 PB of effective capacity per single rack unit. Benefits include workload consolidation, a smaller physical footprint requiring less rack space, and lower energy usage which improves power and cooling costs. Additionally, IBM’s all-flash array features fast data delivery, real-time threat detection, and recovery response rates. Unlike traditional storage arrays that use precious compute cycles on data services, IBM Storage FlashSystem is engineered with unique, durable FlashCore Module all NVMe drives. This computational storage technology offloads data services from the array, keeping functions such as compression, encryption, data deduplication, and ransomware attack pattern analysis closer to the data thereby allowing the IBM Storage FlashSystem controller to focus on rapid data delivery.
