Storage components
The storage capabilities of IBM Flex System allows you to gain advanced functionality with
storage nodes in your system while taking advantage of your existing storage infrastructure
through advanced virtualization. For early versions of the IBM Flex System the only integrated
storage was the IBM Storwize V7000 that was external to the IBM Flex System Enterprise
Chassis. With the introduction of the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node storage is
provided internally from the IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis.

Simplified management
IBM Flex System simplifies storage administration with a single user interface for all your
storage with a management console that is integrated with the comprehensive management
system. These management and storage capabilities allow you to virtualize third-party
storage with non-disruptive migration of the current storage infrastructure. You can also take
advantage of intelligent tiering so you can balance performance and cost for your storage
needs. The solution also supports local and remote replication and snapshots for flexible
business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities.

Infrastructure
The IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis is the foundation of the offering, supporting
intelligent workload deployment and management for maximum business agility. The 10U
high chassis has the capacity of up to 14 compute nodes, or a mix of compute nodes and
Storage which mounts from the front. From the rear mounts power supplies, fans and different
options of LAN and SAN switches. The IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis delivers
high-performance connectivity for your integrated compute nodes, storage, networking and
management resources. The chassis is designed to support multiple generations of
technology and offers independently scalable resource pools for higher utilization and lower
cost per workload.
