The Flash Market is Heating Up… Fast

“IDC predicts that solid state storage revenue will grow from $1.7 billion in 2011 and reach $5.6 billion by 2016, resulting in a 26.8% CAGR from 2011 to 2016.

IDC expects the amount of NAND solid state technology being shipped into the enterprise to grow an impressive 20x, reaching almost 2.9EB annually by 2016.”

Microsecond latency maximizes CPU utilization/efficiency

I/O Serviced by Disk

1. Issue I/O request ~ 100 μs

2. Wait for I/O to be serviced ~ 5,000 μs

3. Process I/O ~ 100 μs

Time to process 1 I/O request = 200 μs + 5,000 μs = 5,200 μs CPU Utilization = Processing time / Total Time = 200 / 5,200 = ~4%

Oracle Acceleration with IBM FlashSystem™

Customer Challenge – Most Oracle applications are highly read-intensive. As such, additional processing power alone does little or nothing to improve performance. By placing all read data on low latency flash storage, reads will be performed much faster, boosting Oracle performance by up to 12x over conventional disk systems with no tuning or changes to code or system architecture.

•IBM FlashSystem shared flash storage systems will

– Decrease I/O wait time in mission critical Oracle workloads

– Deliver the lowest latency available on any SAN platform

– Accelerate commonly I/O-bound workloads, including transactional, batch and complex analytics

Delivers Extreme Performance, Macro Efficiency, and Enterprise

Reliability for


Virtual Servers and VDI with IBM FlashSystem™

Customer Challenge - Virtualized servers and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) push conventional storage systems to their performance limits. The result? Poor application response times and a bad customer experience. Introducing an IBM FlashSystem into virtualized environments will result in up to 16x faster response times for the most common virtualized applications. Couple this performance to the ‘log on’ or ‘boot’ storm and make system use productive again.

•IBM FlashSystem shared flash storage systems will– Eliminate I/O density and hot spot issues that are common

to highly virtualized environments– Control and mitigate ‘log on’ or ‘boot’ storm performance

issue

– Deliver storage consolidation without sacrificing performance, thus driving a higher V:P ratios thus increasing server utilization


Reliability for


SAP Acceleration with IBM FlashSystem™

Customer Challenge – The vast majority of the Worlds SAP Databases consume less than 2TB of Storage. SAP is pushing clients to accelerate performance by adopting the HANA in-memory database architecture. This often leads to a significant re-architecture of the entire SAP infrastructure, which drives high cost and a risk of disruption in service delivery.

•IBM FlashSystem shared flash storage systems will

– Eliminate I/O bottlenecks in mission critical SAP workloads

– Provide the lowest latency of any SAN-based storage solution for time-sensitive workloads with IBM MicroLatency™

– Enable a small, cost-effective pool of flash storage to deliver extreme performance improvements

– Support a phased approach to HANA adoption by delivering consistently higher performance for SAP BW workloads with no re-architecture required
