Overall Satisfaction with IBM FlashSystem

[IBM FlashSystem 5000 (formerly Storwize V5000E) is part of our Storage system / SAN in IT for the whole organization Server/VMware/ERP/SIS/DW storage
  • Strength - an IBM storage system which is rock solid
  • It is been very reliable, no issues, has great performance
  • Integrated into our systems very easily
  • I have no improvements at this time
  • Was a bit pricey and ROI a bit long
  • Performance gains are well worth the cost.
reliability of IBM, and ease of use, easy interface and learning curve compared to others.
[IBM FlashSystem 5000 (formerly Storwize V5000E)] fit into our Tier1 storage easily, where we migrated the old disk based Tier 1 storage to Tier 2. Works very well with big systems like ERP. Seems a bit overkill for some VMware servers/applications that are CPU bound.
