Manufacturer Contact Info

The IBM FlashSystem 9500 All Flash 365TB is a 4U enterprise storage array with 24 FlashCore Modules, 3TB of cache and up to 365TB effective capacity with 2:1 compression, suited to organizations consolidating high-volume, performance-sensitive workloads.

Recommended For

Enterprise infrastructure teams running latency-sensitive transactional or ERP databases that need shared block storage, high availability, and consistent low-latency access.
Organizations consolidating several workloads or existing storage arrays onto one block-storage platform, especially when they need storage virtualization and non-disruptive data migration.
Data-center teams supporting VMware, virtual servers, or cloud-native environments that need shared enterprise storage, snapshots, replication, and failover options.
Analytics and high-throughput application teams that need an all-flash storage tier for demanding enterprise workloads rather than storage for individual desktop tasks.
