What do you like best about IBM Storage FlashSystem?

Whether you select the smaller Flashsystems or the larger Flashsystems, the core of it is mostly the same. Performance, stability, ease of implementation, easy to navigate GUI and with an extensive command line for automation and integration. Add a top-notch support from your local and global IBM partners, and we have a solid solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Storage FlashSystem?

I am trying hard to find dislikes about our current and even our past Storage Flashsystems and I honestly cannot think of one that comes to mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Storage FlashSystem solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've selected the IBM FS9500 for our on-prem core business. Along with the newer FCM4 modules, helping us save space with compression on the fly as well as block inspection for possible security threat, we feel secure in our environments. We moved from an older storage array where latency was beginning to hit us too often, and where we had issues keeping up with the protection portion of our data through our storage arrays. But since implementing the new Flashsystems, we've configured replication across sites, local and remote snapshots that are using the Safeguarded technology to allow us quick retrieval of older images if needed. All without any issues and with room to grow too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
