| Presentation: | Enhancing Security, Resiliency, and Scalability with IBM FlashSystem Storage |
In this session we will dive into the benefits of external storage for IBM i and how IBM’s storage portfolio complements the demands of IBM i shops of all sizes. With Security, High Availability, Disaster Recovery, and Data Growth continuing to be among the top concerns for IBM i shops, we look to external storage to enhance our most critical business servers. The increased adoption of virtualization, 24×7 operating requirements, and no room for downtime, external storage is growing in popularity for IBM i shops.
