The IBM FlashSystem 7600 is a high-performance, all-flash storage system designed for demanding enterprise workloads requiring low latency, high throughput, and robust data services. Built on the latest IBM Storage Virtualize software, it combines NVMe technology with IBM FlashCore Modules (FCM) to deliver exceptional performance and efficiency in a compact 2U form factor.
With support for up to 1.15 PB of effective capacity (after data reduction), the system achieves sub-millisecond response times and up to 4.5 million IOPS. It includes hardware-accelerated compression, deduplication, thin provisioning, and AI-driven storage insights via IBM Storage Insights. NVMe-oF connectivity (NVMe over Fabrics) enables low-latency access across hybrid cloud environments.
Advanced features include end-to-end NVMe, Safeguarded Copy for ransomware protection, hyperswap for continuous availability, and seamless integration with IBM Spectrum Virtualize for multi-system management. The FlashSystem 7600 supports a wide range of host connectivity options and is optimized for mission-critical databases, virtualization, analytics, and AI workloads.
The IBM FlashSystem 7600 is backed by a 60-day warranty, providing assurance in its quality and performance.
