Overall Satisfaction with IBM FlashSystem

IBM FlashSystem is used as storage for our JD Edwards Enterprise One systems and our data warehouse. External storage opened up new opportunities that we didn't have with internal storage.

Pros

  • Speed, very fast
  • Built in compression is the best I've seen for IBM data

Cons

  • Some interfaces require IP address only, need to be able to use a DNS name. NTP and SMTP are the main ones here.
I have only used IBM storage.
If using IBM FlashSystems, external storage is now the way to go. A lot of options available with external storage compared to internal storage. Before Flash storage was so much more expensive, not feasible for small shops, now a better value than a spinning disk or SSD.
