IBM FlashSystem 5200

FlashSystem 5200 offerings consist of a control enclosure and three expansion enclosure models: FlashSystem 5200 control enclosure Model 6H2 Two node canisters, each with an eight-core processor 64 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB cache options (32 GB, 128 GB, or 256 GB per canister) 10 Gb iSCSI (copper) connectivity standard with optional 32/16 Gb FC, 12 Gb SAS, and 25/10 Gb iSCSI (optical) connectivity 12 Gb SAS ports for expansion enclosure attachment Twelve slots for 2.5-inch SFF NVMe drives 1U, 19-inch rack mount enclosure with 200 - 240 V AC power supplies FlashSystem 5200 expansion enclosure models 12G and 24G Two expansion canisters 12 Gb SAS port for control enclosure and expansion enclosure attachment Twelve slots for 3.5-inch LFF SAS drives (Model 12G) and twenty- four slots for 2.5-inch SFF SAS drives (Model 24G) 2U, 19-inch rack mount enclosure with 100 - 240 V AC power supplies FlashSystem 5200 expansion enclosure Model 92G Two expansion canisters 12 Gb SAS port for control enclosure and expansion enclosure attachment Ninety-two slots for 3.5-inch LFF SAS drives 5U, 19-inch rack mount enclosure with 180 - 264 V AC power supplies All models are available with a one-year warranty and IBM Storage Proactive Care Base and Advanced options. FC, SAS, and iSCSI connectivity with intermix flexibility FlashSystem 5200 systems include four 10 Gb Ethernet ports standard for iSCSI connectivity and two 1 Gb Ethernet ports for service technician use. These models can be configured with up to four I/O adapter cards to provide up to eight 32 Gb ports, up to sixteen 16 Gb FC ports, or up to to eight 25/10 Gb Ethernet ports. Storage-class memory FlashSystem 5200 supports up to twelve storage-class memory NVMe drives. These small capacity, ultra-low latency drives can be used in conjunction with EasyTier to further improve the overall performance of your NVMe workloads, or as a stand-alone flash storage tier with even higher performance. The following NVMe storage-class memory drives are supported in FlashSystem 5200 control enclosures: 375 GB NVMe storage-class memory drive 750 GB NVMe storage-class memory drive 800 GB NVMe storage-class memory drive 1.6 TB NVMe storage-class memory drive IBM FlashCore Modules and industry-standard NVMe drive options FlashSystem 5200 is designed to support FlashCore Modules, industry-standard flash drives, and an intermix of both. FlashCore Modules integrate IBM MicroLatency technology, advanced flash management, and reliability into a 2.5-inch SFF NVMe with built- in performance-neutral hardware compression and encryption. For improved flexibility, FlashSystem 5200 systems also support a variety of industry-standard, self-encrypting NVMe flash drives. Deployments requiring higher flexibility, scalability, density, and cost benefits of hard disk drives can take advantage of FlashSystem 5200 expansion enclosures. The following NVMe FlashCore Modules are supported in FlashSystem 5200 control enclosures: 4.8 TB NVMe FlashCore Module 9.6 TB NVMe FlashCore Module 19.2 TB NVMe FlashCore Module 38.4 TB NVMe FlashCore Module The following NVMe industry-standard drives are supported in FlashSystem 5200 control enclosures: 800 GB 3DWPD NVMe flash drive 1.92 TB NVMe flash drive 3.84 TB NVMe flash drive 7.68 TB NVMe flash drive 15.36 TB NVMe flash drive All drives are dual-port and hot-swappable. Drives can be intermixed in the control enclosure as long as configuration rules are followed. Expansion enclosures can be intermixed behind the control enclosure
