IBM FlashSystem 9500 Enterprise Storage Solution - Petabyte Storage from China Suppliers and Factory
Product Description
Petabyte-Scale Storage
IBM FlashSystem 9500 provides petabyte-scale data storage in a very tall four rack unit chassis. It leverages IBM FlashCore technology packaged in a 2.5" solid-state drive (SSD) form factor and uses the NVMe interface. These FlashCoreModules (FCM) provide powerful built-in hardware-accelerated compression technology without compromising performance and ensuring consistent microseconds level of latency and high reliability.
Simplified Cloud Management
IBM FlashSystem 9500 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize simplifies hybrid cloud storage environments from the ground up. The system utilizes a modern user interface for centralized management. With this single interface, administrators can perform configuration, management and service tasks in a consistent manner across multiple storage systems, even from different vendors, greatly simplifying management and helping to reduce the risk of errors. Plug-ins for supporting VMware vCenter help enable consolidated management, while REST API and Ansible support help automate operations. The interface is consistent with other members of the IBM Spectrum Storage family, simplifying administrators' tasks and helping to reduce the risk of errors.
Comprehensive Data Services
IBM Spectrum Virtualize provides the data services foundation for every IBM FlashSystem 9500 solution. Its industry-leading capabilities include a broad range of data services that scale to more than 500 IBM and non-IBM heterogeneous storage systems; automated data movement; synchronous and asynchronous replication services (on-premises or public cloud); encryption; high-availability configuration; Storage tiering; and data reduction technology, etc.
Infrastructure Transformation
The IBM FlashSystem 9500 solution can be used as an IT infrastructure modernization and transformation engine, thanks to IBM SpectrumVirtualize capabilities, which enable you to extend a wide range of data services and capabilities to more than 500 legacy external heterogeneous storage systems managed by the solution. At the same time, capital and operating costs are reduced, and the return on investment in the original infrastructure is improved.
