FlashCore: Advanced Flash Management
IBM Advanced Flash Management improves MLC flash endurance 9x
over standard implementations without sacrificing latency.
“Through close collaboration between IBM research, development and flash engineering, IBM created an advanced flash characterization platform to test thousands of flash devices over a lifetime of wear. As a result, IBM has made major strides in advanced flash management.” – Andy Walls, IBM Fellow
Key accomplishments:
• Innovative ECC algorithm corrects very high bit error rates
• Variable voltage and read level shifting maximizes flash endurance
• Advanced Flash Management continually monitors the health of blocks
and performs asymmetrical wear leveling and sub-chip tiering:
- Health binning: up to 57% improvement in endurance!
- Heat segregation: up to 45% reduction in write amplification!
• Micron Technology provides special access to the chip
Backed by IBM’s Flash Wear Guarantee!

Stuttgarter Straßenbahnen AG (SSB)Puts reliable public transport on the fast track with flash and SAP
Business challenge: Slow response times impacted SSB’s ability to co-ordinate
logistics and deliver sale, efficient urban transport to their passengers.
The solution: SSB gained greater business insight and the ability to perform
advanced data analytics by moving critical SAP ERP applications to flash.
“…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.”

SprintTransforming customer service with ultra-fast flash storage
Business challenge: Sprint’s call-center agents needed fast, reliable access to
respond to customer issues. Existing storage infrastructure was unable to keep up.
The solution: Sprint deployed IBM FlashSystem to greatly improve performance
and resolve customer queries faster, while slashing energy consumption, data
center footprint and overall operations cost, e.g. reduced software licenses.
“IBM FlashSystem solution 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.”

Memorial HermannMaking a smarter planet healthier with IBM FlashSystem
Business challenge: The largest not-for-profit health care system in South East
Texas was faced with increasing requirements for speed and reliability in
delivering effective, high-quality medical services supporting patients’ needs.
The solution: IBM FlashSystem deployed in a tiered environment with SVC
providing greatly improved data access for EMR and support for real-time
analysis of medical data.
Business impact: Improved speed and reliability of applications and access to
electronic medical records provided doctors faster access to data facilitating
better treatment decisions.
