IBM FlashSystem
Also known as: FlashSystem
IBM's family of external all-flash storage arrays, built on Storage Virtualize software and populated with FlashCore Module NVMe drives.
IBM FlashSystem is IBM's family of all-flash and hybrid enterprise storage arrays, running Storage Virtualize software and typically populated with FlashCore Module NVMe drives. FlashSystem arrays attach to servers, including IBM Power and IBM i environments, over Fibre Channel SAN, and compete against enterprise flash storage lines from other vendors such as Dell EMC (PowerStore, PowerMax) and HPE (Alletra, Primera). Buyers evaluating FlashSystem resellers should confirm both the FlashCore Module generation and part number the reseller is quoting, and whether IBM Storage Virtualize licensing (replication, encryption, Easy Tier) is bundled with the array or sold as a separate entitlement.
