Performance Gap

CPU performance up 10x this last decade

Storage has grown capacity but unable to keep up in performance

Systems are now Latency & IO bound resulting in significant performance gap

From 1980 to 2010, CPU performance has grown 60% per year*

…and yet, disk performance has grown ~5% per year during that same period **

IT infrastructure challenges

Countless SW Licenses

Complicated SW Slow or Unstable Applications

Loss of Business Opportunity

Expensive and Bloated Infrastructure

Dissatisfied Users and Customers

These adjustments are responsible for most IT woes

• Standalone all flash array• Also a building block

• Low Latency 135/90 µs R/W • 1.1M IOPS• Promote use of application-level services

• Software defined storage• FlashSystem as a storage enclosure• Promote use of SAN services

IBM FlashSystem IBM Software Defined Flash Solutions

IBM FlashSystem addresses the two primary segmentations of the flash market as defined by IDC taxonomy:

Absolute Performance for extreme performance of throughput, IO, and latency. Enterprise for full featured enterprise features sets married to flash performance

Comprehensive flash offerings strategy
