Invest in Data. Save on Storage.
Whatever the size of your organisation, your data deserves the best enterprise storage at a competitive price.
IBM FlashSystem family storage accelerates your workloads with guaranteed results
The IBM FlashSystem family is supported by IBM FlashWatch, designed to enhance your end-to-end ownership experience with flash storage guarantee programs.
The IBM FlashSystem family simplifies your hybrid multicloud storage. With a unified set of software, APIs, and tools, IBM FlashSystem (which now includes products formerly known as Storwize) addresses the entire range of storage needs, with one data platform that extends enterprise functionality throughout your storage network.
Pay for capacity while you use it, don’t pay up front
Finance a FlashSystem with monthly payments over a 3-year term and have the possibility to either keep it, refresh or simply walk away. Refresh your FlashSystem for the same monthly price or less, or upsize/downsize your system to meet your needs and have the advantage of a 3-month transition period with no dual billing.
Also available with cloud-like pricing.
