IBM Refreshes Entry FlashSystem Flash Storage, Beefs Up Cloud Storage “Last year we launched the FlashSystem refresh at the upper end and entry-level, and got rid of our StorWize product line. We consolidated it to a single family for non-mainframe workloads. The FlashSystem family seamlessly supports hybrid cloud and container deployments [and] is driving high-end features down-market,” says Eric Herzog, chief marketing officer and vice president of global storage channels for IBM’s storage division.
