FlashSystem 5200 systems are virtualized, NVMe-based, all-flash, software-defined storage solutions designed to unlock the power of your data by combining IBM® Spectrum Virtualize, IBM FlashCore Modules, and storage-class memory.

• Two node canisters, each with an eight-core processor
• 64 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB cache options (32 GB, 128 GB, or 256 GB per canister)
• 10 Gb iSCSI (copper) connectivity standard with optional 32/16 Gb FC, 12 Gb SAS, and 25/10 Gb iSCSI (optical) connectivity
• 12 Gb SAS ports for expansion enclosure attachment
• Twelve slots for 2.5-inch SFF NVMe drives

Expansion enclosures can be intermixed within a FlashSystem 5200 system. FlashSystem 5200 systems scale up to 748 drives with the attachment of FlashSystem 5200 expansion enclosures. FlashSystem 5200 systems can be clustered to help deliver greater performance, bandwidth, and scalability. A FlashSystem 5200 clustered system can contain up to four FlashSystem 5200 systems and up to 2,992 drives.

All FlashSystem 5200 functional capabilities are provided through IBM Spectrum Virtualize licensed machine code.
