Bringing NVMe accelerated storage performance and higher levels of cost efficiency to small deployments in enterprises of various sizes. Startups, entry-level businesses, remote offices, and network edge locations are among the most common business environments globally to date. They may not have thousands of employees, but they are still adopting the same technologies as larger competitors - hybrid cloud architectures, real-time analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and more. Moreover, they still need IT infrastructure that can provide great flexibility and scalability, extensive data services, seamless mobility within cloud architectures, speed, and perhaps most importantly - data security persistence in the face of potential threats. For cost-sensitive enterprises, it is particularly important to start with small capital investments and gradually increase functions and components as business and IT demands grow. These are the types of organizations that are turning to the IBM FlashSystem 5300. This compact product within the leading IBM FlashSystem series offers the same level of functionality as other products in the series but in a smaller physical form factor, allowing businesses to start with a very reasonable initial storage investment without sacrificing performance, and then easily scale capacity and capabilities as demands grow and change.
