Overall Satisfaction with IBM FlashSystem
The FlashSystem is being used as storage for one of our ERP systems. It addresses DR, BC and performance and allows the system to scale further.
- Performance is incredible.
- Initial set up was relatively easy.
- For basic tasks, the management interface is easy to use.
- The HSM has some shortcomings in capacity reporting.
- Setting up mirrored relationships is a lot more hassle than it should be.
- The errors returned are sometimes not very useful.
Preliminary tests indicate that we should see substantial application performance benefits, but we have not put the systems into production yet.
So far, it looks promising, but we have not put production data on it yet.
Sometimes the range of offerings, licensing, options, and product configurations is overwhelming and confusing. The distinguishing characteristics of one product from another are not always obvious.
Flexibility is not important. We have a single-use scenario.
Single-badged solution.
