IBM FlashSystem C200

IBM Storage

The IBM Storage FlashSystem C200 is a 2U storage system designed to deliver high-capacity, cost-efficient storage for less frequently accessed data. It is ideal for organisations that need to manage large-scale archives, backups, and media repositories while maintaining operational simplicity and sustainability.

Powered by IBM Spectrum Virtualize, the FlashSystem C200 provides a consistent set of enterprise features across on-premises and cloud deployments. These include thin provisioning, data reduction pools, compression, deduplication, and Easy Tier automated tiering for optimal performance and efficiency. The system also integrates with IBM Storage Insights for AI-driven analytics, proactive monitoring, and predictive maintenance.

The FlashSystem C200 leverages IBM FlashCore Module technology to provide high endurance and advanced security features, including encryption and ransomware detection. Safeguarded Copy enables immutable snapshots for rapid recovery from cyber incidents, while integration with IBM Cyber Vault supports operational air-gapping for enhanced cyber resilience. The platform also supports VMware vVols, Microsoft Hyper-V, and container environments such as Kubernetes and Docker, making it suitable for diverse IT landscapes.

Key highlights include:

  • Performance and Density: High-capacity design optimised for sequential and archival workloads, delivering efficient performance for large data sets.
  • Data Efficiency: Inline compression and deduplication with guaranteed data reduction ratios to maximise usable capacity.
  • Resilience and Security: Multi-layered protection with immutable copies, anomaly detection, and encryption.
  • Hybrid Cloud and Virtualisation: Integration with IBM Storage Virtualize for Public Cloud, VMware, and container platforms for flexible deployment options.

With its combination of scalability, efficiency, and advanced data services, the IBM FlashSystem C200 provides a reliable foundation for organisations looking to optimise storage for backup, archive, and media workloads while reducing cost and environmental impact.
