Imagine flying from London to New York in 3.5 seconds instead of 7.5 hours………..This is analogous to the performance of an IBM FlashSystem compared to the performance of today’s 10k disk drive.
IBM FlashSystemsTM storage is breaking new grounds in Big Data. Businesses have an increasing requirement to 
do more – Faster, AND with a greater Return on Investment.
So Why Flash?
- Extremely low latency (<30-100 μs), consistent performance and lower cost than DRAM
- Can be deployed quickly and at every level of infrastructure.
- 74% lower environmental costs through lower power consumption
- 35% lower operational costs
Flash, when implemented into the appropriate environment
can reduce storage costs yet substantially increase storage performance and maximise processor utilisation in your servers. When combined with IBM’s Easy Tier, Flash can be used to automatically optimize your environment.
Tiered in a way that manages the important, everyday data at higher speed, whilst migrating the less used data to a lower tier – Easy Tier thus maximises the accessibility of the business critical data.
The launch of Flash seems to have sparked off a revolution in Storage technology. As the digital era develops and Big Data becomes even bigger, the requirement for quicker, cheaper and more accessible data storage will continue. So whether you are ready to make the transition to Flash or wish to discuss other options, there is no doubt that now is the time to prepare your business for demands of tomorrows computing.
