IBM Flash Adapters Enterprise Value for System x
IBM Redbooks Product Guide
The IBM® Flash Adapters F825, F1650, and F3200 Enterprise Value for System x® are designed for the
application of solid-state storage to webscale and cloud data centers. Delivering high speed, low latency,
and high efficiency, this new line of flash adapters brings scalable and optimized performance to
distributed scale-out architectures at low cost. These adapters are designed primarily for cost-efficient
high volume servers and computing appliances to maximize compute efficiency while providing the added
benefits of lower power and cooling costs, low management impact, and smaller storage footprints.

Did you know
The IBM Flash Adapters Enterprise Value use flash memory as their storage medium, contain no moving
parts, and do not have the issues associated with vibration, noise, and mechanical failure. The adapters
are built as block devices on a PCIe bus with advanced wear-leveling, advanced ECC, and chip-level
redundancy, providing exceptional reliability and efficiency.

These adapters can provide lower operational expenditure (OPEX) and capital expenditure (CAPEX) in
applications that require high storage I/O performance compared to solutions that use a larger number of
hard disk drives and solid-state drives to achieve equivalent performance.

Rigorous testing of the IBM Flash Adapters Enterprise Value by IBM through the IBM ServerProven®
program ensures a high degree of confidence in storage subsystem compatibility and reliability. Providing
an additional peace of mind, the adapters are covered under IBM warranty.
