Overall Performance Improvements: • Overnight scheduled processing time (the “Day-end” process) was reduced by 40% on average • Front-end application response times improved by 250 milliseconds, or around 38% • Online database backups accelerated from 6 hours to 1.5 hours, or 75% • With FlashSystem, can continue to achieve optimum performance with a fully encrypted
database
FlashSystem continues to provide microsecond read/write response times, allowing time-critical file deliveries and sustained user interface response times under peak load conditions.
Achieved objectives without software rewrite
System latency dropped by factor of 100x
Case Study Experience
IBM Systems
Industry – Payments: Case Study Results
The Need: Switch software must be incredibly fast and deployable across multiple
devices – Electronic Funds Transfer, ATM’s, mobile phones, and more
Payments speed and volumes requirements growing with increased competition
Solution/Test:
• Tested IBM FlashSystem 900 and DS8800
Results:
• Both IBM Storage devices achieved over 10,000 transactions/sec, or 3.6X Higher
than previously tested
IBM Systems
Finance Industry – Other Case Study Results:
STAC BM – Tick Database in Capital MarketsSTAC recently performed the volume- and user-scaling suite of STAC-M3™ Benchmarks (Kanaga)• McObject’s eXtremeDB Financial Edition 7.0• IBM FlashSystem 900 storage system, 57TB• IBM Power System S824L server
Summary of Results• 21x to 212x the performance of the previous best published result for the market snap benchmarks (10T.YR[n]-
MKTSNAP.TIME)
Insurance Payments
• Insurance payments system – ISV Case Study: Incredible performance results over all
other options with IBM FlashSystem.

Financial Institutions must now store more data and get more insights more quickly from that data.
However, with data processing capacity radically improved, the bottleneck becomes the ability to
store and retrieve large volumes of data as rapidly as needed.

Why Flash Matters to Financial Services
In the last 10 years:
DRAM Speed 7 to 9x Increase
Network Speed 100x Increase
Bus Speed 20x Increase
Disk Speed ONLY 1.2x Increase
CPU Speed 8 to 10x Increase
Flash has 50x lower latency than
hard disk drives

Note: Economics are based upon typical total cost of ownership (TCO) and vary depending
upon the application solution.
Boost performance and get cost takeout (typically 30-40%)
without re-architecting applications - - with IBM FlashSystem
(Flash is better than SSD)

ESG - on Flash Economics
“- - the IBM FlashSystem enterprise storage offering
represents a tipping point for many use cases where
flash not only offers significant performance
improvements, but also significantly drives down the total
cost of ownership for storage based on a smaller, more
cost-efficient footprint.”
