IBM solutions for infrastructure management
The management of infrastructures in the corporate environment has evolved in direct proportion to the interest of companies in having greater flexibility, performance, and security in their operations. Nowadays, operational efficiency and adaptability set the roadmap for any organization, so having robust and scalable solutions has become crucial.
In this article, we will discuss how IBM's infrastructure is redefining the management of computer systems, providing companies with the necessary tools to adapt to the needs of the present and the future.
Innovation as a Stronghold in IBM's Infrastructure Management
For decades, IBM's infrastructure has been at the forefront in developing solutions that enhance the management and performance of systems across various organizations.
Some of the solutions that have helped the company become one of the leading references in the industry are IBM FlashSystem and IBM Power, two systems that combine scalability, security, and efficiency to offer a reliable technological environment prepared for any contingency in a context precisely marked by the growth of cyberattacks.
Cybersecurity in companies has become a crucial aspect, and IBM's solutions are designed to protect sensitive data and ensure the integrity of operations against increasing threats.
IBM FlashSystem: Performance and Scalability in Storage
IBM FlashSystem is a storage solution designed to offer superior performance and simplified data management. As the amount of information processed in a company grows, so does the need for a storage system that offers speed and efficiency in equal measure.
The company responds to this demand with a series of features aimed at maximizing the two aforementioned values.
Enhanced Performance
The differential value of IBM FlashSystem lies in its ability to handle large volumes of data quickly. Through the use of advanced Flash technology, it provides ultra-fast response times, with response times of less than 100 microseconds, allowing companies to manage their operations without interruptions, regardless of their nature.
Simplified Scalability
Simplified scalability determines, in many cases, the growth capacity of a company in constant evolution, where storage needs can change rapidly. In this regard, IBM FlashSystem allows increasing storage density up to 1 petabyte of effective capacity per rack unit easily and without major complications.
Space optimization and cost reduction
The Flash technology present in IBM's infrastructure also allows storage space optimization to increase efficiency, with features such as data compression and deduplication, process automation, or cloud operations unification, which result in considerable long-term economic savings. Thus, the company has managed to reduce operational costs for businesses by between 40% and 90% compared to other platforms.
Business continuity assured
The interruption of operations can have disastrous consequences, which is why IBM has focused part of its strategy on ensuring business continuity. The solution offers high availability and disaster recovery through the implementation of a hybrid cloud and the creation of recovery points, ensuring that companies are prepared for any eventuality.
Easy integration with existing systems
IBM FlashSystem has been designed to integrate with both IBM's own infrastructure and current enterprise solutions, such as AIX (IBM's Unix), IBM i, and Linux. This way, organizations do not need to make drastic changes to their environment to take advantage of FlashSystem, as it is compatible with various architectures.
Intelligent automation for efficient management
FlashSystem incorporates automation technologies that simplify storage management, freeing IT teams from repetitive tasks and allowing them to focus on more strategic operations through IBM's infrastructure.
Enhanced Security
IBM's infrastructure also places security at the center of its strategy, integrating advanced encryption solutions and data protection features that intelligently separate from production environments. The goal? To ensure that information is always safe, as only authorized personnel can access its management.
IBM Power: data processing with high efficiency
IBM Power has proven to be another stronghold in the operational efficiency of medium and large companies. The processing platform is capable of supporting intensive workloads and its flexibility allows it to adapt to different operating systems, just like the previous solution. These are the characteristics that define it:
High performance
IBM Power has been optimized to handle the most demanding data processing tasks. Its architecture allows for complex calculations and management of large volumes of information without sacrificing speed or performance, with up to 240 Power10 processor cores and 64 TB of memory.
Total flexibility
Flexibility in IMB Power materializes with the possibility of dynamically managing resources on a private server as business needs change, with flexible platform consumption to optimize IT costs and improve server capacity planning.
Robust security
Data protection is a priority at IBM Power. Proof of this are the real-time operations monitoring features it integrates, in addition to the possibility of adding two-factor authentication or integrating log review automation, ensuring that applications and systems are always available.
Energy Efficiency
Compared to other leading market competitors, IBM infrastructure solutions have 30% more effective capacity per rack unit compared to the previous generation of FlashCore modules and use 29% less energy, with all that this entails in terms of economic expenditure as well.
