IBM Storwize all-flash storage systems V7000F and V5000F
Features
The Storwize V5000 and V7000 models have always been flash ready, the ability to mix spinning disk with IBM’s Flash Drives to vastly increase the performance has been possible since the product range was first introduced. For the last few years IBM’s primary response to projects requiring the performance of Flash was to position a product from the FlashSystem family, more recently the continually improving economics of Flash have allowed Flash drives to become the performance drive of choice and in many cases replacing the need for 15K Hard Drives, this shift means we now see more and more Storwize deployments where the shelves are filled with Flash Drives. The V5000F and V7000F are IBM’s answer to this trend providing true flash performance and positioning this for entry and midrange opportunities.
Highlights
- Improve your business agility with flash storage and unique heterogeneous data services
- Optimise data economics with a powerful combination of flash and storage virtualisation
- Accelerate critical business insight with all-flash performance that accelerates core application response times
- Improve utilization and efficiency with support for almost 400 different storage systems
- Drive down total cost of ownership with all-flash solutions that provide all the operational cost advantages plus dramatically reduced price per GB
Overview
Today’s organizations need to meet ever-changing demands for storage while also improving data economics. IT staff must deliver more services faster and more efficiently, enable real-time insight and support more customer interaction. Better than ever before, all-flash storage solutions from IBM® Storwize® can meet your requirements for fast, reliable and consistent access to data with extraordinary affordability.
The IBM Storwize family offers IBM Storwize V7000F and IBM Storwize V5030F solutions as all-flash, virtualised, enterprise-class storage systems designed to deliver high performance combined with advanced management functions and competitive pricing.
Application workloads vary dramatically from one business to the next, and even among various groups or organizations within a single company. Many organizations have data sets and resulting storage requirements that might be described as midsized. Quite often these same organizations labour under limited IT budgets.
The IBM Storwize family is designed specifically to meet the unique data storage requirements of business groups or organizations with midsized application workloads and constrained IT budgets but that need storage with all the features and capabilities demanded in the largest of enterprise environments.
21st century organizations with midsized application workloads and limited budgets are seeking to gain competitive advantage from the data assets available to them. The IBM Storwize family provides especially powerful solutions for these organizations. With comprehensive storage services and virtualisation capabilities based on market-leading IBM Spectrum Virtualise™ technologies, IBM Storwize offers feature-rich, affordable storage solutions for the cognitive business looking to grow and thrive.

Overview
The era of big data is here, driven by the need for more data and faster data access. Low-latency performance in applications such as real-time business analytics, life sciences research, rich-media entertainment, weather forecasting, social media feeds and stock market transactions require high-performance storage architectures.
In addition, today’s organisations need ways to improve operational efficiency while maintaining the same data centre (DC) footprint, quality of service (QoS) and high availability (HA).
The IBM System Storage DCS3700 storage system is ready to meet the challenge. Designed for applications with high performance streaming data requirements, DCS3700 offers optimal space utilisation, low power consumption and high performance.
By combining proven IBM storage controllers with up to 60 drives in just 4U of rack space, DCS3700 can reduce operational costs for capacity-intensive applications.
