What is IBM® FlashSystem™ 900 SAN Storage

The IBM FlashSystem 900 is a high-performance, high-capacity, and highly reliable all-flash storage system designed to accelerate demanding enterprise applications with its micro-second latency and extreme IOPS capabilities. 

Extremely Low Latency:

• The FlashSystem 900 is optimized to provide micro-second response times, with 90 microsecond write latency and 155 microsecond read latency. 
• This makes it well-suited for high-performance database applications like Oracle, SAP, SQL Server, etc.

High Capacity and Density:

• The FlashSystem 900 can scale up to 57 TB of effective storage capacity in a compact 2U rack-mounted enclosure.
• This high density is achieved through IBM's enhanced 3D TLC NAND flash technology and inline hardware data compression.

Extreme Performance:

• The FlashSystem 900 can deliver up to 1.2 million IOPS, providing blistering performance for demanding workloads.
• It uses IBM's patented eMLC flash technology, which outperforms off-the-shelf SSDs used in competing products.

Enterprise-Class Reliability:

• The FlashSystem 900 includes features like redundant backup batteries and IBM's enterprise-class reliability and availability.
• It is designed to provide the reliability required for mission-critical applications.

Flexible Integration:

• The FlashSystem 900 can be integrated with other IBM products like the SAN Volume Controller to provide advanced storage virtualization and management capabilities.
• It supports a wide range of operating systems, hardware platforms, and SAN fabrics.
