Topic – IBM Flash Storage
The modern, consolidated, virtualized, mobile, social, and cloud-embracing world demands higher and
faster throughputs, and our expectations have risen accordingly. Higher throughput at lower latency can
never be a bad thing; but—surprisingly—these are often not the parameters on which storage purchase
decisions are made.
The IBM FlashSystem enterprise storage offering represents a tipping point for many where flash not only
offers significant performance improvements, but also significantly drives down the total cost of ownership
for storage based on a smaller, more cost-efficient footprint. Flash storage has changed the industry
permanently. And YES, you can use it with IBM i OS!
David Rihtar from IBM will be joining us at our March meeting to talk about how Flash Storage delivers
industry leading value through scalable performance, enduring economics and agile integration. Come
see why FlashSystems might be the best thing since sliced bread.
