Overall Satisfaction with IBM FlashSystem

We are using FS5000 over the FC connection using more than 50 virtual machines for the production environment including ERP live database and frontend, That's filling all our business requirements.
  • No downtime in last 4 years.
  • Great performance on database applications.
  • User Interface can be batter for administrators.
  • FC connection must be faster.
  • It's more costly than other storage models but for performance it deserves its cost.
We like its hardware configuration with two-core processors with up to 64 GB total cache and the attachment of up to ten 2U expansion enclosures or up to four 5U expansion enclosures.
