Fast and Affordable Storage that Makes Your Business Resilient

IBM® FlashSystem® was designed for SMBs that need business agility. The IBM FlashSystem series – the 5000, 5015, 5045 and 5200 – all are easy to implement, easy to use, and easy to scale up as your business grows. Each is a platform of enterprise-level storage systems designed with FlashCore technology, a hardware and software solution that delivers high performance, enhanced recoverability, and superior resilience. FlashSystems are how SMBs can always be sure to leverage their data to get business done.  

IBM FlashSystem technology sets up your business for success with technologies that make a difference:


IBM FlashCore Modules deliver higher performance, greater density, rapid scalability, and higher levels of resilience when compared to standard flash-based storage systems. You can add up to 3:1 inline hardware-accelerated compression and encryption while keeping high performance and eliminating much of the complexity and support burden often associated with enterprise storage.

IBM Storage Virtualize Software makes it easy to manage and store data across multiple systems, including legacy storage devices. This flexibility allows you to effectively plan the transformation of your storage strategy.

IBM Storage Insights is a cloud-based service of threat detection, analytics and insights into the health, performance, and usage of IBM FlashSystem. This helps your business better manage current storage and plan for future growth.

IBM Inline Threat Detection is IBM’s AI-enabled threat observability service that helps you detect and respond to potential ransomware attacks. This service works as part of IBM Storage Insights to help you identify and automatically trigger workflows to respond to potential threats.



Optimized price/performance. According to a recent Enterprise Strategy Group survey, IBM FlashSystem customers report to have better mapping between storage cost and overall performance, with the ability to get a higher IOPS per dollar spent than they could before deploying FlashSystem.

“FlashSystem protects our data in a way that I know we can restore it when needed, is much a lower cost per terabyte than what we used to pay, and gives us performance that has changed the way our people can work.” – IBM FlashSystem customer
