INTELLIGENT ALL-FLASH STORAGE
Cyber Resilience & Real-Time Detection
The IBM FlashSystem 7600 delivers a high-performance, resilient foundation for modern enterprise workloads, combining extreme throughput with autonomous management. This 2U solution is engineered to support the most demanding consolidated environments through several key advancements:
- Unrivalled Throughput: Delivers up to 4.3 million IOPS and 7.2 PBe of effective capacity via PCIe Gen 5 architecture.
- Proactive Cyber Resilience: Integrates FCM5 technology with inline machine learning to identify ransomware threats in under sixty seconds.
- Autonomous Operations: Uses FlashSystem.ai to automate storage management tasks, reducing operational overhead by up to 90%.
With the IBM FlashSystem 7600 your business-critical data remains protected, accessible, and self-optimising, providing the scalability required for both mid-sized and large-scale organisations.
CYBER RESILIENCE AND AUTONOMOUS INTELLIGENCE
Integrated Resilience, Intelligence & Performance
The IBM FlashSystem 7600 prioritises resilience through three core pillars:
- Protect: 5th Generation FlashCore Modules (FCM5) provide hardware-level threat detection. By monitoring I/O for ransomware indicators, the system enables autonomous safeguarding in under 60 seconds.
- Adapt: Integrated FlashSystem.ai reduces operational overhead by up to 90%. These agentic AI services automate performance tuning and workload placement, providing explainable reasoning for simplified storage management.
- Perform: By offloading compression and deduplication directly to FCM5 hardware, the 7600 eliminates performance trade-offs. This ensures a consistent 4.3 million IOPS and 55 GB/s bandwidth, even during intensive data reduction.
This architecture provides a self-optimising, secure foundation for mission-critical enterprise data.
