A client states that despite the technological advantages of
FlashCore Modules, they are required to use industry standard
serial-attach SCSI (SAS) and / or non -volatile memory express
(NVMe) solid - state drives (SSDs). They are trying to calculate
how much capacity they can put in the control enclosure. They
ask, “What is the largest drive capacity, and interface, they can
use? ” What is the correct response?
15.36TB SAS
15.36TB NVMe

During meetings it has become clear that many clients are
confused about the differences between the 2 U FlashSystem
9200 and the 4U FlashSystem 9500. The confusion appears to
be related to the belief that there might be many controllers in
the 9500. Which comment below accurately reflects the
FlashSystem 9500?
Four,1U node canisters (controllers), with oneI/ O Group
Four, 1U node canisters (controllers), with twoI/ O Groups

A client is trying to understand why Safeguarded Copy (SGC) is
so useful. They seem to think the it is just a snapshot. What
can a well- informed seller tell them to help them appreciate
the value of SGC?
Immutable Safeguarded Copies of business- critical data
reside on tape for recovery but remain hidden from view,
therefore bad actors are unable to get to them.
Immutable Safeguarded Copies of business- critical V
data reside on the primary storage but remain hidden
from view, therefore bad actors are unable to get to
them. They can be used to recover very quickly.
Immutable Safeguarded Copies of business- critical data
reside on Ready Nodes for recovery but remain hidden
from view, therefore bad actors are unable to get to them.
Immutable Safeguarded Copies of business- critical data
reside on secondary storage for somewhat slow recovery
but remain hidden from view, therefore bad actors are
unable to get to them.

wish to minimize their capital expenditure. What is the
smallest amount of cache they can purchase that will deliver
100 % memory bandwidth?

The FlashSystem 9500 and 9500 R have gained Secure and
Trusted Boot abilities as part of the enhancements to
enterprise robustness. How does Trusted Boot keep client ’s
data safe?
IBM uses Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)
secure boot. UEFI secure boot is relatively simple
compared to trusted boot. The UEFI firmware has a
private key embedded in it.
The CPU is a root of trust. We have to trust that the Power
CPU itself has not been compromised.
Trusted boot uses functionality provided by the Intel
CPU, and the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to verify
that the firmware, bootloader, and early boot
environment, are safe.
