    Abstract

    The IBM FlashSystem® grid is an innovative and efficient solution for overcoming data storage management challenges. This federated, scalable storage platform enables unified management of multiple IBM FlashSystem and IBM Storage Virtualize (IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC)) controllers. Its key strengths include unmatched scale-out capability and streamlined, non-disruptive management across federated IBM FlashSystem and SVC environments, which enhances both agility and resilience.

    This IBM Redbooks® publication provides a practical guide to deploying and managing the

    IBM FlashSystem grid. The intended audience includes storage administrators and storage architects who need practical guidance for IBM FlashSystem grid implementation and ongoing management.
