Fast, protected storage for your applications and databases
IBM FlashSystem gives enterprise applications consistent response times and protects their data against failure and attack. We size it, install it, migrate your data and keep it running.

What you get with IBM FlashSystem
Consistent performance
Applications and databases get the same fast response during peak hours as in quiet ones.
More data in less space
Compression and deduplication reduce the capacity you buy, and with it the power, cooling and rack space.
Protection against ransomware
Unusual activity is detected at the storage level, and protected snapshots give you a clean copy to recover from.
One way to manage storage
Built-in storage virtualization brings your existing arrays under the same management and data services.
Ready for hybrid cloud and containers
Use the same storage for virtual machines, containers and data that moves between your data centre and the cloud.
Buy it or take it as a service
Own the system, or get capacity on demand and pay monthly for what you use.
What we do for you
- Sizing on your data. We analyse your current load and data, so the capacity and the model match what you really need.
- Design and build. The storage, the storage network and their integration with your servers and backup.
- Migration. Data is moved from your existing arrays while applications keep working.
- Consolidation. Storage from different vendors is brought under one managed and secured environment.
- Health checks. A review of configuration, availability and capacity, with recommendations.
- Maintenance around the clock. Your data stays available and protected, every day of the year.
- Training. Courses for your storage administrators.
Storage as a service
If you would rather not own the hardware, we provide storage as a service, hosted or on your premises. You get new capacity on demand and pay month by month. Read more about storage, backup and archive.
