Overall Satisfaction with IBM FlashSystem
IBM Flash System 5000 is used by our large department for reliable storage. Originally, our storage system was limiting our potential data growth and we needed to expand as soon as possible. IBM made this possible with these arrays and we have been very pleased with our experience. I have not had an array fail on me yet.
- Product capabilities
- Reliability
- Ease of use
- Storage speed (could be better)
- Adding additional storage can be complex
- Had allowed us to collect and store large amounts of data
- Allowed for many people to easily access the data
- Allowed for us to collect more data because of its capabilities
We went with IBM FlashSystem 5000 because of the brand. We have had better experiences with IBM FlashSystem 5000 and their products in the last. In comparison, we have had several Dell products that have given us regular issues that swayed us away from using them again. It was the right decision to go with IBM.
