Product overview
New: IBM Elastic Storage System 3500
Powered by the global data platform of IBM Spectrum® Scale, the IBM Elastic Storage System 3500 scales from 36TB to 600YB+3 of capacity in a single cluster, with high performance support for up to 1800+TB/s with 20 nodes. With its easy management, data services and low latency, it can help you solve your difficult AI and hybrid cloud challenges.
Benefits
Fast time to value
ESS 3500 combines IBM Spectrum Scale file management software with NVMe flash storage for the ultimate in scale-out performance and simplicity, delivering 91GB/s of data throughput per 2U system.
Efficiency
Containerized software install and a powerful management GUI minimize demands on IT staff time and expertise. Dense storage within a 2U package means a small data center footprint.
Reliability
Software-defined erasure coding assures data recovery while using less space than data replication. Restores can take minutes rather than hours or days and can be run without disrupting operations.
Product overview
IBM Elastic Storage System 5000
IBM Elastic Storage System (ESS 5000) represents a new generation of integrated scale-out data management with state-of-the-art capacity storage with containerized software delivery for ease of installation and update. ESS 5000 delivers market-leading 55GB/sec performance throughput per node to move data to or from your systems fast enough to keep pace with even the most powerful processors.
