IBM announced enhancements to its storage systems portfolio last month with a focus on two of the hottest topics in the enterprise world: security and as-a-service delivery.
The company added new features and protections for its FlashSystem all-flash arrays by offering IBM Safeguarded Copy to create securely isolated data copies that cannot be changed. And IBM unveiled its Storage-as-a-Service solution designed to make it simpler and more cost effective for customers to choose the ideal option for data management.
“IBM is enhancing data and cyber resiliency across all non-mainframe platforms, and we’re changing CapEx to OpEx with our Storage-as-a-Service,” said Eric Herzog (pictured), chief marketing officer and vice president of global storage channels at IBM Storage Division. “Those are the key takeaways and the hot ticket items from an end-user perspective.”

Big Blue also unveiled a new entry-level model in its IBM Elastic Storage System all-flash storage family.
The introduction of IBM Spectrum Fusion, initially as IBM’s first hyper-converged infrastructure appliance and eventually as a software-only technology, is part of a larger strategy to help clients and channel partners better manage data across hybrid environments, said Eric Herzog, chief marketing officer and vice president of global storage channels for IBM’s Storage Division.
“Our storage is designed to simplify data availability spanning the cloud, the core, and the edge,” Herzog told CRN. “IBM is also expanding its partner base looking for partners who can handle hybrid cloud, core, and edge deployments with AI and analytics.”

IBM has refreshed the entry-level flash storage arrays in its FlashSystem line with the introduction of the all-NVMe flash 5200, plus the 5015 and 5035 that can be equipped with SAS-connected flash drives or spinning disk.
The move completes that hardware refresh begun on the FlashSystem line last February when the 7200 and 9200/9200R – the top end of the range – were upgraded.
