Enhance operational stability, maximize application performance and increase business agility with enterprise-class b-type Gen 6 directors

Digital transformation is pushing mission-critical storage environments to the limit, with users expecting data to be accessible from anywhere, at any time, on any device. Faced with exponential data growth, the network must evolve to enable businesses to thrive in this new era. To meet these dynamic and growing business demands, organizations need to deploy infrastructure that can deliver the consistency, predictability and performance that legacy infrastructures cannot. These outdated architectures were not designed to support the performance requirements of evolving workloads and flash-based storage technology and in fact, an aging network will impede the performance of an all-flash data center.

A new approach to storage networking is needed to enable databases, virtual servers, desktops and critical applications, and to unlock the full capabilities of flash. By treating the network as a strategic part of a storage environment, organizations can maximize their productivity and efficiency even as they rapidly scale their environments and prepare for next generation flash storage technologies such as non-volatile memory express (NVMe) protocol over Fibre Channel.

IBM Storage Networking SAN512B-6 and SAN256B-6 directors with Fabric Vision technology combine innovative hardware, software and built-in instrumentation to ensure high levels of operational stability and redefine application performance. They provide a modular building block for increased scalability to accommodate growth for large-scale enterprise infrastructures.

Fabric Vision technology enhances visibility into the health of storage environments, delivering greater control and insight to quickly identify problems and achieve critical service level agreements (SLAs). Breakthrough 32/128 Gbps performance shatters application throughput barriers and provides support for more than 1 billion IOPS for flash-based storage workloads. And with diverse deployment options, organizations can smoothly adapt and optimize their businesses to meet next-generation storage requirements.
