Are you still running older IBM Storwize Storage?
If you are still running a V7000, V5000 or similar Storwize storage systems, you will undoubtedly know how reliable and resilient they are. Many of these systems are still hosting critical business data and show no signs of being unable to do the job they were designed to do. However, you could save enough on maintenance and energy consumption to move to the latest FlashSystem at a net zero cost in under 18 months*.
Performance boost
Even if your system is functional, IBM FlashSystem offers data access speeds that are up to 4 times faster. This means quicker responses for your applications, leading to increased productivity for your team.
Enhanced Data Protection
Older storage systems may lack the latest security features. IBM FlashSystem uses Flash-Core Modules, and the latest FCM-4 delivers real-time threat detection and response, ensuring your data is protected against data loss and cyber threats.
Cost efficiency
Older systems can be costly to run. Upgrading can save you up to 50% on power consumption and reduce cooling needs, leading to significant savings on your energy bills and maintenance costs.
Scalability for growth
Your business is likely to grow, and so are your data needs. IBM FlashSystem is designed to scale easily, allowing you to expand your storage capabilities without disruption.
Intelligent management
With artificial intelligence, IBM FlashSystem helps you manage your data more efficiently. It predicts your future storage needs and optimises performance, making your operations smoother.
Simplified lifecycle management
Upgrading to IBM FlashSystem allows you to use the IBM Storage Assurance program, which includes regular hardware and software refreshes. Additionally, Covenco can buy back your existing IBM Storwize system, leading to a better return on investment.
