IBM launches new flash storage lineup
- USA: Sunday, April 14 - 2013 at 01:12
IBM has launched a line of flash-based storage systems, based on technologies IBM acquired when it purchased Texas Memory in 2012, PC World has reported. The new product range is part of a major strategic initiative, and $1bn in research, by IBM to make flash the prominent form of storage in most organisations. A set of FlashSystem could be configured into a single rack capable of storing as much as 1 petabyte of data, capable of producing 22 million IOPS (input/output operations per second). Getting that same level of storage and throughput from a hard drive system would require 315 racks of high performance disks, said IBM senior vice president for software and systems, Steve Mills.
