IBM announced IBM FlashSystem 9100 in its All Flash Storage portfolio. Using AI-based analytics, it helps identify potential issues before they become problems. When support is needed, Storage Insights helps speed resolution by simplifying tickets and automating log uploads.

IBM FlashSystem 9100 combines the performance of flash and Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) with the reliability and innovation of IBM FlashCore technology and the rich features of IBM Spectrum Virtualize — all in a powerful 2U storage system. Providing intensive data driven multi-cloud storage capacity, FlashSystem 9100 is deeply integrated with the software defined capabilities of IBM Spectrum Storage allowing you to easily add in the multi-cloud solutions that best support your business.

FlashSystem V9100 comes in two configurations - 9110 with 8 core processors and 9150 – with 14 core processors.

Key features of IBM FlashSystem 9100:

• Form factor - 2U. In comparison V9000 is 6U.
• Compatable with IBM Flash Core Modules (FCM) and standard SSD for great flexibility
• IBM FlashCore technology is with standard 2.5-inch SSD form factor with NVMe interfaces so that 24 FCMs can form the basis of the storage array. You can choose IBM FCMs in multiple capacities, or you can opt for industry standard NVMe-enabled flash drives, with the capability to support both drive types simultaneously within the array.
• Up to 1.5ТВ total cash for both controllers.  
• Clustering 4 storages in one cluster.  
• Other storage systems virtualization.
•  FCMs have built-in hardware compression. In addition, it supports deduplication and compression performed by controllers.
• Full NVMe support
• Optimized performance and durability of Flash modules благодарение на AI
• 400ТВ usable capacity at 2U after DRAID 6.
• Lower cost of 1TB flash capacity on FCM.
