IBM Intros Safer Entry-level FlashSystem
Blocks & Files, Wednesday, July 12,2023
IBM has upgraded its FlashSystem entry-level with a 5045 model to replace the 5035, adding immutable snapshots to improve its resilience against malware attacks.
These snapshots are IBM's Safeguarded Copy (SGC) which lets you make regular immutable snapshots on the same storage as the production data. These copies can be instantly accessed to recover data, which is faster than carrying out a mass restoration from a backup target array, the public cloud or a tape library. The now superseded 5035 did not have this capability.
