    • IBM FlashSystem 9600

    The IBM FlashSystem 9600 is IBM's flagship high-end all-flash storage platform, engineered for the most demanding enterprise and mission-critical workloads. Built on the latest IBM Storage Virtualize software and powered by fifth-generation FlashCore Modules (FCM5), this system combines extreme performance, massive scale, and advanced data services in a compact, highly resilient design.

    With support for up to 4.8 PB of effective capacity (after data reduction), the 9600 delivers sub-100 µs latency and over 10 million IOPS, making it ideal for large-scale databases, AI/ML training/inference, high-performance computing, and virtualization environments. It features end-to-end NVMe architecture, NVMe-oF connectivity, hardware-accelerated compression, real-time ransomware detection, and AI-based predictive analytics via IBM Storage Insights.

    Key enterprise capabilities include Safeguarded Copy with immutable snapshots, hyperswap for zero-RPO disaster recovery, active-active clustering, and seamless hybrid cloud integration. The system supports up to 48 drive slots (in 4U control enclosure) and expansion enclosures, with redundant hot-swap components for maximum uptime. Designed for Power Systems, x86 servers, and containerized applications, the FlashSystem 9600 sets the standard for modern enterprise storage.

    The IBM FlashSystem 9600 is backed by a 60-day warranty, providing assurance in its quality and performance.
