high-performance system over fibre channel.
The IBM FlashSystem 7200 is ideal for large-scale production databases that require a lot of processing power. Since we started using this solution, our client has accomplished their business objectives. Now that we are using different pools, we can divide the workloads. This solution offers a great repository, data compression, and speed.

Over fibre channel, high-performance system
The IBM FlashSystem 7200 is ideal for large-scale production databases that require a lot of processing power. For the past six months, we've been using this solution, and our client has met their business objectives. By employing different pools, we can now divide the workloads. This product has a great repository, is fast, and compresses data.
Our company's information recovery has also improved as a result of this. The combination of cloud capabilities has aided in the faster production of data, which is critical in a crisis.

It's Reliable and Easy to Use
The IBM FlashSystem 7200 is ideal for large-scale production databases with a high workload. We have been using this product for the past six months, and our client has met their business objectives. We can now divide workloads by using different pools. This product offers a fantastic repository, high performance, and data compression.
It is quite beneficial in terms of providing support for a service that we used for over seven months. It reduced the amount of effort required to complete assignments and duplicate data. Its AI is the most important factor, as the decisions made are more accurate and effective at work.

FlashSystem 5200 upgrade from V5000 provides huge performance improvement and advanced functions
We did not count on data reduction when configuring the system, but we are seeing 2.2/1 compression without any performance penalty. We did not implement deduplication with the system. Overall performance is amazing compared to where we were.

FlashSystem Viewpoints from Destiny Corporation
For our clients, this affects their buying decisions. They calculate how much storage space they will actually need. If there is more compression and deduplication, they purchase less, reducing their costs. Some clients see it the other way that they gain more storage for their spend. They really like the fact that much of this, with encryption, happens at the hardware level.
