IBM Elastic Storage System (ESS 5000) represents a new generation of integrated scale-out data management with state-of-the-art capacity storage with containerized software delivery for ease of installation and update. ESS 5000 delivers market-leading 55GB/sec performance throughput per node to move data to or from your systems fast enough to keep pace with even the most powerful processors.
Fast time to value
ESS 5000 combines IBM Spectrum Scale file management software with NVMe flash storage for the ultimate in scale-out performance and simplicity, delivering 91GB/s of data throughput per 2U system.
Efficiency
Containerized software install and a powerful management GUI minimize demands on IT staff time and expertise. Dense storage within a 2U package means a small data center footprint.
Reliability
Software-defined erasure coding assures data recovery while using less space than data replication. Restores can take minutes rather than hours or days and can be run without disrupting operations.
Deployment flexibility
Available in a wide range of capacities from tens to hundreds of terabytes per 2U. Deploy as a standalone edge system or scale out with additional ESS 3500 systems or with IBM ESS 5000 nodes.
Support massive volumes of data
IBM ESS 5000 can deliver up to 55GB/s of throughput and scale-out to exabytes of storage with IBM Spectrum Scale. Growing data can be managed and tiered across practically any storage.
Integrate NVMe storage
IBM ESS 5000 can run in a cluster with IBM ESS 3200 servers to provide powerful and simple NMVe scale-out storage for AI, HPC and many other data workloads.
