The new IBM® FlashSystem® 9100 storage adds another all flash array to the IBM FlashSystem product family. IBM FlashSystem 9100 storage takes advantage of the latest drive technology, packaging and Intel® processors to improve performance and make data storage more cost effective.
One key storage technology added to IBM FlashSystem 9100 is the NVM ExpressTM (NVMeTM) drive interface. IBM FlashSystem 9100 can make use of a new generation of FlashCore storage modules (FCM) with hardware data compression, that’s been re-designed for NVMe and reconfigured into a small form factor envelope or small form factor, industry standard, NVMe SSDs. IBM FlashSystem 9100 exploits NVMe for both IBM FCMs and SSDs to reduce IO latency and improve performance. Moreover, the new NVMe interface enables IBM FlashSystem 9100 to be ready for Storage Class Memory (SCM) SSDs once they become more prominent.

The network team is made up of your colleagues, your co-workers, in some cases, your friends. They deserve to know the truth. And you’re just the person to bring them that truth. The truth about how automation is going to transform (in a good way!) much of what traditional NetOps does.
Decisions around developing, testing, deploying, operating, and maintaining enterprise applications are not being made in a silo. In days past, it may have been the case that network operations personnel were the ones who were in control, who were the last sto ...
Everybody changes, and sometimes relationships have to change too.
We’re talking, of course, about your relationship with your cloud provider’s native application services for security and performance. Services which are, admittedly, perfectly fine—until you realize you need more.
What are the signs that you’ve outgrown those cloud-native security and performance services?
When should you consider more robust application services?
Is it time to evolve your relationship with your native cloud services for your apps?
