IBM FlashSystem 5045 FS5045 4680-3P4 maximum capabilities

Raw capacity is measured before RAID protection, metadata and spare capacity. Usable capacity will be lower. The 440-drive configuration includes four 92H and two 24H expansion enclosures plus the 24 internal bays. Expansion and clustering limits must be checked against the installed software level.

IBM FS5045 performance specifications

These are separate IBM-published maxima, not simultaneous workload guarantees. Read hits are served from cache; read misses require access to the storage backend. Actual performance depends on drives, RAID layout, host connectivity, block size, read/write mix and enabled data services.

The IBM FS5045 4680-3P4 can be custom configured to meet your requirements, or you may purchase individual features and parts for a FlashSystem upgrade. All IBM FlashSystem orders include warranty and support, and all IBM FlashSystems are eligible for IBM Maintenance and Support.
