IBM FlashSystem 5300 680TB storage server
The IBM FlashSystem 5300 is a 1U rackmount storage server populated with twelve 38.4TB FlashCore Modules. It delivers 460TB raw capacity and 340TB usable capacity, reaching 680TB effective capacity with 2:1 compression. The platform suits organisations that need high-density flash storage for block workloads.
Build integration: 256GB cache and host connectivity
The system includes 256GB of cache and ships with two four-port 32Gb Fibre Channel cards plus onboard 25/10Gb iSCSI. It supports 2.5-inch flash drives, SFF 2.5-inch disk drives, LFF 3.5-inch disk drives and Storage Class Memory modules. Distributed RAID 1, 5 and 6 protect data across the installed drives.
Sustained load behaviour: latency and throughput
Under sustained load the array maintains minimum latency under 50µs while delivering up to 28.6 GB/s bandwidth and 2.2M IOPS. Hardware-assisted compression and Data Reduction Pools with deduplication, thin provisioning and UNMAP reduce the ongoing data footprint. NVMe Flash and FC-NVMe host connections keep the data path efficient during continuous operation.
