- Expand the capacity of volumes with flashcopy.
- Advanced SAS connectivity.
- Thanks to the lower investment in storage units, ROI is maximized.
- Flash technology based on NVMe, allows more operations to be carried out in the same unit of time.
- Performance reduces waiting times associated with information systems.
- IBM FlashSystem 5000 (formerly Storwize V5000E) and IBM FlashSystem 9200
The adoption of FlashSystem systems is due to the already understood capabilities of IBM storage systems and their constant evolution, presenting more and more improvements in capacity, performance, technology. Previously we used Storwize V7000 Storage systems and the change has been made due to the obsolescence of the previous platform.
