Client Feedback: Flash is About Economics

“How can I leverage all this data for my business and keep what I truly need?”

“Can you get me up and running fast?” “Can I add functions and scale?”

Business Critical…

“Keep me running!Secure my data.”

Economics = Speed, Flexibility & Labor Costs

Economics =LOB specific (Risk, Expertise, etc.)

Economics = Business Impact

Data Intensive Business SolutionsStart Quickly… Add Value…

IBM Storage Software + FlashSystem Accelerates Sprint

ProblemCall-center operatives need fast, reliable access to data on accounts, usage and billing.

SolutionDeployed nine FlashSystem 820 solutions with a total of 150 TB, virtualized and managed through SVC

Benefit• Cut latency by 10x• Reduced Energy

Consumption• Easy integration into

existing environment

“The IBM FlashSystem solution also allows us to identify and address potential customer issues faster, helping us to maintain and build our subscriber numbers—which is absolutely

the most critical metric in our industry.”

-Karim Abdullah, Director of IT Operations, Sprint Nextel

FlashSystem FlashSystem


Easy Tier Case Study: TransportationProblemRunning the public transportation business and supporting external client operations while maintaining a low cost

Solution• Using SVC Easy Tier, SSB deployed 2

FlashSystem 810 and 2 RamSan 630 products to accelerate overall infrastructure

• Placed critical SAP e-business applications requiring consistent high performance onto FlashSystem to drastically improve processes

Benefit• TCO was 50% less than previous

solution• Critical application was improved from

2.5 hours to 6 minutes of processing time

• Backup error correction process went from 2 days to 8 hours

““…. we can easily move whole systems or databases from traditional storage to flash storage at the push of a button. This capability has increased our agility and enables

us to improve the user experience and react quickly to changing performance requirements.”

-Roland Wagner, Team Lead Systems and Operations at SSB

IBM FlashSystem Accelerates VDIImprove Performance

VDI• Stateless• Stateful• Prevent boot storms• Support more virtual desktops

per server• Fewer VDI licenses• Simplify management



IBM FlashSystem Accelerates Latency Sensitive ApplicationsImprove Performance

Latency Sensitive Applications• Metadata for file systems• Video transcoding• Rendering• Enterprise messaging• Enterprise search• Security analytics• Threat detection



IBM GPFS and FlashSystem Accelerate Backups at PennState

ProblemAccelerate nightly backups to meet windows.

SolutionImplement the FlashSystem solution with IBM GPFS instead of adding 200 high performance disks.

Benefit• Instant 6x performance increase in

nightly backups • Reducing power consumption by

90%


IBM FlashSystem accelerates your entire infrastructure

Infrastructure• Centralized data centers• Virtualized servers• Storage services• Uncertainty about which application

to accelerate and when

Reduce Cost

IBM FlashSystem Lowers Power ConsumptionReduce Cost

Lower Power Consumption• Generate 570,000 IOPS for less

power than a 300 watt light bulb

• Moves data at 3GB/second with less power than a hair dryer

• 100 GB storage volume for same wattage as a child’s nightlight



IBM FlashSystem Improves Workforce ProductivityReduce Cost

Improve Worker Productivity• Users wait less on slow applications• Developers focus on new features

and not tuning• System Administrators spend less

time installing• CIOs spend more time creating value

and less time fighting fires

71%of CEOs rate their employees as their most important source of sustained economic value

The IBM 2012 CEO Study, surveying 1,700 CEOs
