Overall Satisfaction with IBM FlashSystem
We are using IBM FlashSystem 5000 for mission-critical applications and databases. Usually, it provid[es] less then 1 ms latency even if there [are] cloning jobs working. Changing drives are pretty easy, you don't need any support you can do it yourself. Redundancy in every part is working very well.
- Latency
- IOPS
- Deduplication
- IBM [FlashSystem 5000] support is not okay
- Lack of features
- Oracle loads are being done 5 times faster
- 20 TB database it takes only 8 TB on storage. Thanks to deduplication
- Latency is almost always under 1ms
They are pretty even. I am very satisfied with Dell EMC Unity. Also, [I feel like] Dell has better support than IBM. It's all depends on how much discount you can get from IBM or Dell. Both are good to go storages.
