Overall Satisfaction with IBM FlashSystem

As the main storage for our data center, the IBM FlashSystem 7200 (formerly Storwize V7000) is used for block storage for the entire company. It is used by our virtualization team and for file servers (virtual machines powered by Win 2016 Operating system). The IBM FlashSystem 7200 (formerly Storwize V7000) also replicated to our disaster recovery site.

The IBM FlashSystem 7200 (formerly Storwize V7000) is much easier to manage.
It is reliable and easy to manage, saves a lot of money on electricity, and is flexible. Even a regular sysadmin can easily manage it. I highly recommend IBM FlashSystem 7200 (formerly Storwize V7000) for medium environments with medium load.
