What is IBM® FlashSystem™ 900 SAN Storage
The IBM FlashSystem 900 is a high-performance, high-capacity, and highly reliable all-flash storage system designed to accelerate demanding enterprise applications with its micro-second latency and extreme IOPS capabilities.
Extremely Low Latency:
- The FlashSystem 900 is optimized to provide micro-second response times, with 90 microsecond write latency and 155 microsecond read latency.
- This makes it well-suited for high-performance database applications like Oracle, SAP, SQL Server, etc.
High Capacity and Density:
- The FlashSystem 900 can scale up to 57 TB of effective storage capacity in a compact 2U rack-mounted enclosure.
- This high density is achieved through IBM's enhanced 3D TLC NAND flash technology and inline hardware data compression.
Extreme Performance:
- The FlashSystem 900 can deliver up to 1.2 million IOPS, providing blistering performance for demanding workloads.
- It uses IBM's patented eMLC flash technology, which outperforms off-the-shelf SSDs used in competing products.
Enterprise-Class Reliability:
- The FlashSystem 900 includes features like redundant backup batteries and IBM's enterprise-class reliability and availability.
- It is designed to provide the reliability required for mission-critical applications.
Flexible Integration:
- The FlashSystem 900 can be integrated with other IBM products like the SAN Volume Controller to provide advanced storage virtualization and management capabilities.
- It supports a wide range of operating systems, hardware platforms, and SAN fabrics.
