• Optimized 3DTLC Flash Card design first designed for IBM FlashSystem and now
being utilized in Storwize V7000 Gen3
• Highly parallelized design
• 3D TLC 8DP (3Tb) Design
• Added read ahead cache enabling improved read latency on highly compressed
pages
• Four-plane programming to lower the overall power during write operations
• Flash Controller provides IBM patented
Variable Stripe RAID (VSR). Now being
used for the first time in a Storwize product
when employing FCMs.

FlashCore data compression/decompression algorithm is a Modified Dynamic GZIP algorithm
• Implemented completely in hardware, no processor intervention
• This technology originated with Z and has been adapted to work in
an IBM FlashCore™ flash controller

• Improved economics with no performance impact

• Compression is performed as the first step in the inbound data Who has it?
path, and decompression is the last step in the outbound data
path. This minimizes the amount of data written to flash IBM is the only vendor to
deliver these purpose-built
• Data protection (ECC) is implemented on top of compressed TLC flash modules with
data inline high-performance
• Compression and decompression are completely transparent
