Content Description

A newer version of this course is now available! You can access the new course, DL08030G (IBM FlashSystem Fundamentals), at no cost.

This course covers the basics of flash storage systems and our portfolio in this area, including IBM Spectrum Virtualize, IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC) and IBM FlashSystems.

Enterprise data is growing exponentially. This data explosion is making commonly accepted practices of data management inadequate. Social, mobile, cloud, big data, and analytics are driving an explosion in data volumes and causing new challenges for data protection, disaster recovery, regulatory requirements, and standards for compliance. Data management has become one of the highest priorities of organizations today.

The IBM FlashSystem products are designed to help companies improve performance and reduce server sprawl, power consumption, cooling, and floor space requirements. All of this in turn can help clients save money, improve performance, and invest more in innovation. The IBM FlashSystem family can help you take control of your storage, harness existing data, and manage your IT infrastructure in a much more cloud-like fashion.
