IBM FlashSystem 840 is an all-flash storage system that is used to make applications and data centers faster and more efficient. IBM engineers FlashSystem 840 with a relentless focus on lowering latency for data accesses. The value your business gets from an all-flash system is directly related to its latency. Where competing systems have settled on <1 millisecond response times, FlashSystem 840 counters with latency closer to 100 microseconds. IBM calls this IBM MicroLatency. For applications that need to go fast, MicroLatency matters; OLTP, analytics, virtual desktops, and cloud infrastructures all perform better with MicroLatency.
