- IBM Flashsystem 5000
Overall Satisfaction with IBM FlashSystem
It is partially used is some departments for [a] trial phase. It blocks storage systems with the ability to virtualize existing storage systems as a consolidation solution for the largest model.
- Reduc[tion] in data compression.
- Good performance.
- Easy to use.
- They can include Amazon S3 file system protocol in the upcoming releases.
- By creating a customized patch for a client, they don't really solve the issue for everyone. If multiple users have the same bug, IBM should upload the patch on the official website so that we can download it.
- They can include the functionality to stretch a cluster natively without using any additional boxes.
- The security features can be improved such that the encryption does not affect performance in any way.
- The most valuable features are deduplication and compression, which together, enable you to have more space.
- The feature I find most valuable, is the deduplication, because the nature of the data that we are using in our current environment, has a lot of replicated data.
Cost/Benefit is better compared to other alternatives in the market.
