The faster, more reliable and more secure storage system for IBM z15 ™ And Linux one III ™.
What is the use of IBM DS8900F for your company
The IBM DS8900F is Power9 ™ new generation of enterprise data system based on processor technology. Designed for data intensive and business critical workloads, DS8900F provides a higher level of performance, data protection, disaster recovery and availability for your hybrid multi cloud solution through ultra-low latency, availability above 99.99999%, transparent cloud layering, and advanced data protection against malware and ransomware.
● Flexible construction
Seamless integration with a hybrid multi cloud infrastructure, delivering unmatched value for business critical workloads.
● Confident delivery
Providing the highest level of business uptime to meet the needs of critical business service workloads.
● Protect the future
No matter where your data is in a cloud environment, be sure it's always safe
Main functions of IBM DS8900F
Ultra low application response time
With storage latency as low as 18 microseconds, twice the throughput, and significantly increased IOPs, speed up the processing of large numbers of transactions while delivering unmatched value for business critical workloads.
● Optimize functional design for IBM z15 and IBM linuxone III
With more than 25 design optimization functions, we can maximize the advantages of mainframe environment, and deliver unparalleled business value through years of research and collaboration between IBM storage team and mainframe team.
● Advanced disaster recovery with 3 and 4 Site Replication
With advanced data protection and disaster recovery capabilities, with availability of more than 99.99999%, and using 2, 3, and 4 site replication, it can achieve near zero RPO and RTO for critical business environments that need continuous operation.
● Safeguarded copy protects against malware and extortion software
Through the tamper proof point in time copy of production data and dual control security, the data can be prevented from being modified or deleted due to user error, malicious damage or extortion software attacks.
● Transparent cloud layering
Make hybrid multi cloud as a new storage tier to support backup and archive operations in IBM Z environments without affecting IO performance or requiring additional servers or gateways. Transparent cloud layering protects your data with AES-256 encryption and saves up to 50% CPU utilization for mainframes when migrating large datasets.
● IBM Copy Services Manager
Simplify and automate the management of replication solutions while providing disaster recovery and high availability through a single point of control. IBM copy services manager supports flashcopy?, safeguarded copy, and advanced disaster recovery capabilities, enabling failover / recovery operations between two, three, and four disaster recovery sites.
● Intelligent placement of data in each flash memory layer
Automate data placement to meet performance goals at the reasonable cost. IBM easy tier intelligently discovers less frequently accessed data and moves it to high-capacity flash drives. Similarly, highly accessed data is migrated to high-performance flash drives to ensure that applications that require the shortest response time are met.
● AI driven management and active support
IBM storage insights can help you more accurately understand trends in storage capacity and performance, and accelerate the development of solutions when support is needed. It can also use AI based analysis technology to identify potential problems as soon as possible and nip them in the cradle. When support is needed, storage insights can speed up problem resolution by simplifying problem sheets and automatically uploading logs.
