Product Description
IBM 2076 FlashSystem 7000 NVMe Control Enclosure Model 824
The IBM 2076 FlashSystem 7000 NVMe Control Enclosure (Model 824) is a 2U rack-mount high-performance all-flash storage system featuring dual controllers and native NVMe drive support. This enterprise-grade platform delivers extreme low-latency performance, massive throughput, hardware compression, deduplication, and advanced data services — ideal for demanding workloads such as high-IOPS databases, analytics, virtualization, and mission-critical applications in IBM i, AIX, Linux, and hybrid cloud environments.
Key Features
- Native NVMe all-flash architecture for ultra-low latency and extreme IOPS/throughput.
- Dual active-active controllers with non-disruptive upgrades and high availability.
- Hardware-accelerated compression, deduplication, and thin provisioning for maximum efficiency.
- Supports FlashCore Modules or industry-standard NVMe SSDs for performance and cost flexibility.
- Advanced replication (FlashCopy, Metro/Global Mirror) and cyber resilience features.
- Scalable to PB-scale capacity with SFF expansion enclosures (e.g., 2076-24G).
- End-to-end encryption, secure data erase, and compliance-ready capabilities.
