The “Need for Speed” in Today’s Environment:

Have you seen the performance impacts?

– 5 - 10 seconds

• Using your smart phone, how long do you wait for a web-site to be loaded,

before you consider it to be too slow?

– 20 - 40 seconds

• What happens using a slow web-site?

– You change to another web-site

– Lost of business for that web-site

• 5 years ago, using your laptop, how long do you wait for a web-site to be

loaded, before you consider it to be too slow?

IBM Systems

• Flash storage has been around for years

• Commonly found in devices such as:

• USB memory stick or Apple computers

• SSD: Looks like HDD with Flash internals, Array limitations

• However, large-scale computing use by institutions requires:

• Management of very large databases:1 million Gigabytes = 1

Petabyte

• High reliability – “no fail” storage

• Data security/protection – encryption

• Non-Disruptive operations

• Until recently, retaining “Flash” speed was not technically

possible to address large-scale institutional computing

• 2012 - IBM acquired Texas Memory Systems and invested

$1B in Flash Storage

What is Flash Storage?

FlashSystem to the RescueActual client experience moving an application to IBM FlashSystem 840.

Can You Guess Which Day the Switch was Made?

IBM Systems

Financial Institutions must now store more data and get more insights more quickly from that data.

However, with data processing capacity radically improved, the bottleneck becomes the ability to

store and retrieve large volumes of data as rapidly as needed.

Why Flash Matters to Financial Services

In the last 10 years:

DRAM Speed 7 to 9x Increase

Network Speed 100x Increase

Bus Speed 20x Increase

Disk Speed ONLY 1.2x Increase

CPU Speed 8 to 10x Increase

Flash has 50x lower latency than

hard disk drives

Flash Storage Benefits – Economics

ESG - on Flash Economics

“- - the IBM FlashSystem enterprise storage offering represents a tipping point for many use cases where flash not only offers significant performance improvements, but also significantly drives down the total cost of ownership for storage based on a smaller, more cost-efficient footprint.”

Mainframe Integration

Schwenk Zement achieved high performance with

24 hours availability by migrating all the SAP

application databases to an IBM System zEnterprise

and two IBM System Storage DS8000

geographically separated to provide high

performance and maximum business continuity for

their most mission critical applications [1].

Cloud Computing

A telecommunications company in Spain, built a

cloud-computing infrastructure using IBM z

Systems mainframes and IBM System Storage

DS8800 devices to support data-storage

requirements. The company established an elastic

platform that enabled them to become a cloud-

services provider and offer infrastructure as a

service solutions to attract new customers [2] .

Databases

A restoration services company in Germany

improved the performance for most mission critical

SAP applications and the underlying DB2

database by up to 50 percent and decreased

backup times from 3.5 hours to two minutes, a 99

percent reduction !. All of this using the IBM

Systems Storage DS8000 [3].

Disaster Recovery

BLOM BANK has been able to minimize RTO and

reduce RPO to around 1 sec at the remote site, enabling

unprecedented continuity of service while being at Tier 7

– the highest level in the multi-site availability

hierarchy by implemented IBM DS8000 storage

solutions as the backbone for its three-site data

center replication strategy.. ,.[5].

DR

Data processing

Fransabank, has seen 40% performance gains for key

processes. The end-of-day process has fallen from

eight hours to less than five, and the end-of month

process from 13 hours to less than eight by using its

new core banking software running on IBM Power

Systems servers and backed by IBM Storage DS8000

DS8K helped a large, global Bank with real-time

fraud detection and credit card processing with Flash

and an API for z System applications, achieving high

throughput, delivering enterprise-class high availability

and data encryption.

A direct broadcast satellite television provider uses

DS8000 in the primary and Disaster Recovery site, and

High Performance Flash Enclosure, as a result its

response time has been significantly improved by 90%.
