FlashSystem 5200 Key Features

One single platform

The innovative FlashSystem family is based on a common storage software platform, IBM Spectrum Virtualize, that provides powerful all-flash and hybrid-flash solutions, offering feature-rich, cost effective, enterprise-grade storage solutions. Its industry-leading capabilities include a wide range of data services that can be extended to more than 500 heterogeneous storage systems: automated data movement, synchronous and asynchronous copy services either on-premises or to the public cloud, high availability configurations, storage automated tiering and data reduction technologies including deduplication, among many others.

Modernize your business with End-to-end NVMe

IBM FlashSystem 5200 is NVMe-optimized, with support for NVMe over fabrics for the highest end-to-end storage performance. NVMe flash drives accelerate workloads and lower storage latency to accelerate application performance and business productivity. IBM FlashCore innovations include a hardware-accelerated NVM architecture and advanced flash management features that not only increase flash endurance, but also accelerate performance while reducing latency. IBM FlashSystem 5200 also supports iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER), a new option to deliver high performance over lower cost Ethernet networks.

Six 9’s availability

Data availability is crucial for your business. Downtime causes an immediate impact including loss of customer loyalty and financial costs. IBM FlashSystem 5200, paired with current software, delivers six 9s (99.9999%) data availability. These systems include no single point of failure, enterprise proven control software and the ability to perform maintenance concurrently with I/O. In addition, cloud-based IBM Storage Insights detects configuration errors to further improve availability.

Capabilities that can be deployed across hybrid cloud

Available on IBM Cloud and AWS, IBM Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud works together with IBM FlashSystem 5200 to deliver consistent data management between on-premises storage and public cloud. Move data and applications between on-premises and public cloud, implement new DevOps strategies, use public cloud for disaster recovery without the cost of a second data center or improve cyber resiliency with “air gap” cloud snapshots.

Bringing enterprise services to containers

IBM FlashSystem 5200 delivers the performance, data efficiency, protection, and agility your containers deserve. IBM FlashSystem supports Red Hat OpenShift and Kubernetes container environments, accelerating the deployment of persistent volumes with the IBM block storage CSI driver, certified by Red Hat and IBM. It is the high-performance solution to run the most demanding applications, services, and microservices with the agility to form the foundation of your hybrid cloud strategy.

IBM Storage Expert Care

IBM Storage Expert Care implements simplified expert care service and support offerings with upfront and predictable pricing allowing you to decide the support level and period you need which helps reduce deployment and operational risks, and maintenance outlays.

AI-driven management and proactive support

IBM Storage Insights can help you better understand trends in storage capacity and performance and expedite resolution when support is required. Storage Insights monitors the health, capacity and performance for IBM block storage and external storage under management on a single pane of glass. Using predictive AI-based analytics, it helps identify potential issues before they become problems. When support is needed, it helps speed resolution by simplifying tickets and automating log uploads.

Worldwide network of business partners

Working with IBM business partners gives you access to the technology, services and best practices that can make your implementation a success. These partners provide you with a scalable solution that maintains performance, efficiency and manageability as data grows.

Data reduction options

IBM FlashSystem 5200 offers data reduction enabling to deliver higher performance for compressed data. Improve efficiency with data reduction pools that feature block deduplication and compression. In addition, SCSI UNMAP allows you to free storage space upon deletion of extraneous data. The benefits include reduced acquisition cost, less rack space and lower power and cooling costs throughout the lifetime of the system.

Peace of mind with IBM FlashWatch

Every IBM FlashSystem 5200 implementation includes a package of guarantees, upgrade programs and extended support options that can help lower deployment and operational risks, reduce maintenance outlays and enhance infrastructure planning, among many other benefits. Included in the "FlashWatch" programs are the IBM data reduction guarantee, the IBM availability guarantee, the IBM Flash Momentum controller upgrade program, endurance and maintenance guarantees, and IBM Storage Expert Care.
