IBM® FlashSystem™ V840Product Overview

© 2014 IBM Corporation2

IBM FlashSystem V840

• A fully featured and scalable all-flash architecture that performs at up to 2.5M IOPS with IBM MicroLatency™ and up to 1.6PB effective capacity

• Delivers better acquisition costs than high performance spinning disk for the same effective capacity while achieving 5x the performance

• With IBM’s Real-time Compression™ technology IBM FlashSystem V840 further extends the economic value of all-flash systems

IBM Flash has reached the tipping point and is now cheaper than disk.

Thin Provisioning

More productive use of available storage

Across all supported host platformsWithout thin provisioning, pre-allocated

space is reserved whether the application uses it or not.

With thin provisioning, applications can grow dynamically, but only consume space

they are actually using.

Dynamicgrowth

Busiest data extents are identified and automatically relocated to highest performing Solid-state Disks

Remaining data extents can take advantage of higher capacity, price optimized disksHot-spots due to poor data layout. Optimized performance and throughput.
