IBM Storage FlashSystem is a soldi product at a great pricepoint for SMB high end storage needs.
- Low latency
- Storage DRS is supported
- Ease of expansion
- Drive firmware updates are a bit clunky, the update files have to be sourced manually
- IBM has separate storage monitoring you need to set up to get good historical statistics.
- If you need 8 16Gb ports you will not be able to expand with a SAS connector.
Reliable and cost effective Flash of IBM
- Performance is the crucial element to be highlighted, as it delivers the best in class industry performance.
- Guaranteed compression ratio, one of the leading in [the] industry we got a 2:1 guaranteed and it achieved as per the commitment.
- Reliability is one of the main elements which works really well, even being a storewide family product it delivers [the] best reliability features.
- [The] footprint is key, as it helped us to reduce our organization's 2 racks storage capacity into a 2U rack space.
- Better GUI interface
- Currently, [the] performance of FS7200 can't be monitored through TPC/SC, this should be considered to include in [the] future.
- IBM primarily lacks in designing its products physical looks, should have designed more intrusive and attractive design. A first impression of the product creates [an] impressive opinion.
Best for midsize workloads
- DRP Compression and deduplication
- Replication across sites
- Flashcopies
- Great performance
- Insights should provide better reporting in terms of performance
- Unable to see volume occupation from storage perspective
- Performing at a high rate.
- It has compression and replication capabilities.
