    Abstract

    This IBM® Redpaper® Product Guide describes the IBM Storage FlashSystem® 9500 solution, which is a next-generation IBM Storage FlashSystem control enclosure. It combines the performance of flash and a Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe)-optimized architecture with the reliability and innovation of IBM FlashCore® technology and the rich feature set and high availability (HA) of IBM Storage Virtualize.

    Often, applications exist that are foundational to the operations and success of an enterprise. These applications might function as prime revenue generators, guide or control important tasks, or provide crucial business intelligence, among many other jobs. Whatever their purpose, they are mission critical to the organization. They demand the highest levels of performance, functionality, security, and availability. They also must be protected against the newer threat of cyberattacks.

    To support such mission-critical applications, enterprises of all types and sizes turn to the IBM Storage FlashSystem 9500.

    IBM Storage FlashSystem 9500 provides a rich set of software-defined storage (SDS) features that are delivered by IBM Storage Virtualize, including the following examples:

    Data reduction and deduplication

    Dynamic tiering

    Thin-provisioning

    Snapshots

    Cloning

    Replication and data copy services

    Cyber resilience

    Transparent Cloud Tiering

    IBM HyperSwap® including 3-site replication for HA

    Scale-out and scale-up configurations that further enhance capacity and throughput for better availability

    This Redpaper applies to IBM Storage Virtualize V8.6.
