IBM SSD: fast and efficient

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have been using IBM SSDs on a small numbers of servers for a number of years now, these are used primarily in our Tableau instances and selected for their high performance as OS Drives. Those servers require fast I/O when it comes to the end user interface (via online portal) and IBM SDDs respond perfectly to that need.

Pros

  • I/O Speed
  • Ease of configuration
  • Ease of replacement in case of failure

Cons

  • Capacity, can always use more space.
  • Speed because its never enough.
  • Longevity, although already it's quite good, longer MTFB is always better.

Most Important Features

  • High I/O for fast server restarts
  • Ease of setting up via IBM Software/backend
  • Adequate MTBF

Return on Investment

  • Good Return on Investment as none have been replaced so far
  • High response time from online portal for web users
