IBM storage experts believe further depth enterprise flash applications, application data from the small stage Tier0 began to shift to the Tier1 application patterns, SSD applications and virtualization capabilities begin to integrate, but also interfacing existing storage products, will drive more business with full flash storage array that has been adopted by even full adoption.

10 years ago, IBM sold the entire PC division last turn X86 server business selling products to the store the other hand, it is willing to invest heavily hit, when the storage industry have launched many mixed-type storage devices, IBM pioneered betting the flash memory body market, IBM Greater China recently cum technology systems Business Unit of flash memory storage solutions to solve the technical director Xu original units, exposing IBM flash memory market development strategy.
Xu original thought, application-level enterprise flash technology will push up one level up, began to shift from small data applications Tier0 stage to Tier1 application patterns, Tier1 application integration stage virtualization capabilities, can interfacing existing storage products, expect more companies will start using full-flash storage array, it will further the adoption of a comprehensive enterprise adoption.
IBM acquired in 2012 TMS (Texas Memory Systems) after the introduction of the all flash product line FlashSystem, the All-flash storage market, every year big action announced $ 1 billion will be invested, in addition to the development of new flash memory technology, flash memory technical entire body and to existing product lines among other also plans to set up 12 research centers of flash memory, providing enterprise product testing environment.
Flash memory research center to help customers do the actual testing environment and application evaluation, and based on different sizes and patterns to provide business support, including hardware and software, test tools, technical support and professional and technical personnel, accelerate business importing and applications, in addition, IBM also be opened for 600 API for independent developers to use.
Last year, IBM branched out into software-defined storage (SDS), the introduction of flexible expansion of storage software (Elastic Storage), and the layout of flash storage products for enterprise tier0, tier1 application requirements, were introduced IBM FlashSystem 840 and two IBM FlashSystem V840 section full flash storage array.
Xu Yuan said that although flash technology has emerged in 1978, but the technology has not yet reached a mature stage technology and applications, has been to the last two, three years, the price dropped to a certain extent, flash memory was really ready to enter the application stage, the first to be applied to specific applications such as networking, and now even traditional data centers have begun to use flash technology, he believes the market in flash storage technology is a disruptive innovation.
IBM has introduced in the last year of FlashSystem 840 and IBM FlashSystem V840 two full flash storage arrays, FlashSystem 840 can be optimized for the data center, the performance compared to the previous generation of products FlashSystem 820, the new system has doubled, reaching 1.1 million IOPS , nearly twice the bandwidth upgrade also for database analysis, virtualized infrastructure and public cloud and private cloud.
And FlashSystem V840 is the integration of the storage device virtualization system SVC (SAN Volume Controller), energy storage device resources for a single point of control, but also has compression, replication, automated tiered storage and on-demand resource allocation and other functions.
SVC can upgrade the existing storage facilities and the availability of additional storage devices, including the ability to deploy traditional disk in a decentralized environment, and can be standardized function virtualization storage devices. Xu Yuan said, because many corporate customers want to have additional functions, such as high-availability solutions, tiered division, compression, storage and other needs, these software functions and to FlashSystem V840 the whole solution, but this whole fast flash storage devices within the next year will be one of the main thrust of the solution.
Taiwan IBM Systems Technology Group at the Information Technology cum Associate Que Zhiming said that before storage equipment import, business users can be simulated by means of improving the effectiveness of the device after the import situation and estimate the overall effectiveness of the verification phase, in addition, IBM is also providing TCO analysis tools to help customers estimate the total cost of ownership is reduced amplitudes.
Que Zhiming also said that all storage devices have higher-order, in-order, low-order points, once the business users understand the positioning of each storage device, will be able to meet the economical way to appropriate storage device placed in the appropriate location, to maximize benefits. And he believes that companies need to consider when taking into account the storage trends, including optimization, software-defined storage, big data applications, they can be used all-flash storage solutions arrays.
He mentioned, FlashSystem 840 for enterprise application requirements for tier0, companies using flash memory to strengthen the effectiveness and shorten batch analysis time, or for database, ERP and other systems, the Flash as a cache applications, while FlashSystem V840 is for more complex enterprise IT environment, integrating virtualization products, storage devices can be integrated both functions are no longer just a cache of strengthening it, but also for the storage of flash storage devices, with the virtualization approach to interfacing different products in a storage pool for system use.
Although FlashSystem 840 and FlashSystem V840 has been launched for some time, but Taiwan’s science and technology at IBM System cum business associate, said Chen Zhirong, started businesses lack a reference case, the whole flash storage device is not fully understood, after this year with customers after the run-in and accumulated practical experience, business users now Taiwan market has begun to experience the advantages of flash storage applications, and can not affect that many restructuring the situation, greatly enhance the effectiveness of the storage device.
He also revealed that there are currently three major brokerages two import flash storage devices, other home also includes bankers, manufacturing, telecommunications, government agencies, and so the case has been imported, you can see the flash storage devices have now been more customer acceptance, companies began to expand the use of the scale. He also said, IBM will focus on tier1 future applications, providing both an all flash storage device core solution.
