IBM FlashSystem provides an opportunity for organizations to modernize their existing
storage environments, improve data resiliency, and avoid costly capacity expansions.
Organizations that deploy this solution typically reduce storage costs, increase
operational efficiencies, and reduce downtime.
IBM FlashSystem— built with IBM Spectrum Virtualize software — enables organizations to manage disparate storage environments and growing data capacity requirements with less effort.
IBM commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study and examine the potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by deploying FlashSystem.1 The purpose
of this study is to provide readers with a framework to evaluate the potential financial impact of
FlashSystem on their organizations.
To better understand the benefits, costs, and risks associated with this investment, Forrester interviewed
five decision-makers with experience using FlashSystem. For the purposes of this study, Forrester aggregated the interviewees’ experiences and combined the results into a single composite
organization.
Prior to using FlashSystem, the interviewees’ organizations faced costly capacity expansions and increasing efforts from storage admins to manage their complex environments. Limited or nonexistent virtualization capabilities led to planned and unplanned downtime that impacted critical business functions.
After investing in FlashSystem, interviewees’ organizations mitigated the current need to purchase
additional storage capacity, reduced the effort needed to manage the environment, and reduced
downtime.
