What can it do?

Capabilities

IBM FlashSystem 5300 is a powerful entry-level storage solution that delivers exceptional price performance, high availability, and enterprise-class data services to all sizes of businesses in just one rack unit.

For organisations challenged with resource constrained data centers and large demanding workloads, the IBM FlashSystem 5300 is a powerful and scalable all-flash primary storage platform that offers flexibility to clients of all sizes when choosing the performance and capacity characteristics for their latency-sensitive workloads and highly volatile data sets. 

Now, clients can also take advantage of additional IBM FlashSystem 5300 benefits via the new IBM Storage Assurance program, also to support a strategy for their storage architectures to get more out of their data center investments.

IBM Flashsystem 5300 is an ultra-performant cyber-resilient, and flexible all-flash storage platform that enables organisations to consolidate and protect more workloads onto a smaller footprint with a larger performance and capacity envelope.

What's new?

Improved productivity: For similarly configured systems running a typical enterprise workload, like a database, the IBM FlashSystem 5300 is designed to deliver up to 45% more throughput on a 70/30/50 typical production workload, like a database, and at least a 50% bandwidth improvement on sequential workloads versus the previous generation FlashSystem 5200.

Increased storage density: Clients can get up to 1.81PBe of data (effective capacity) in a fully populated 1U form factor system, using 2:1 deduplication and 3:1 compression ratio. Also, the IBM FlashSystem 5300 can deliver up to 1.81PBe of data (effective capacity) in a fully populated 1U form factor system, using 2:1 deduplication and 3:1 compression ratio.

Enhanced data resilience: New technology enabled by FlashCore Module 4 is designed to continuously monitor statistics gathered from I/O using machine learning models to detect anomalies like ransomware in less than a minute.

Maximised efficiency: Clients can leverage AI-powered predictive analytics with IBM Storage Insights, IBM Spectrum Virtualize which includes AI-based data placement, and automation.

Enhanced VMware Integrations: Protect virtual machines from threats with immutable snapshot support, policy-based replication, and VMware virtual volume 2.0 support.

Environmentally Conscious Storage Solutions

Less energy use than a market leading competitor

More effective capacity per rack unit compared to the previous generation of FlashCore Modules

Of IBM's product waste by weight was diverted from landfills or incineration, in 2022

Our energy consumption dropped by 94% when we moved to IBM FlashSystem. Employees using our data warehouse have seen processing times fall by 30% since we deployed IBM FlashSystem technology.
