Autonomous SAN: Scaling with FlashSystem.ai, AI-Powered SAN Intelligence, and AutoZoning

Webcasts


Abstract

As enterprises scale their workloads, manual infrastructure management can become a significant bottleneck. Lean how to build a self-configuring, self-healing environment by integrating IBM FlashSystem and IBM b-type (Brocade) Gen 8 Storage Networking.

We will cover how the synergy between AutoZoning and Gen 8 SAN Fabric Intelligence (SAN FI) creates a resilient, high-performance foundation for FlashSystem.ai, Storage Grid, and Policy-Based High Availability (PB-HA).

What you will learn:
• How AutoZoning eliminates configuration errors and speeds deployment of HA grid clusters.
• How SAN Fabric Intelligence detects and resolves congestion to ensure peak performance for workloads.
• Best practices for autonomous features that maintain operational resiliency and data availability.
