IBM FlashSystem C200
Capacity-optimized FlashSystem for backup, sequential, archive, media, and cost-sensitive high-capacity workloads where flash density and durability matter.
FlashSystem C200 is the capacity-first member of the current family. It changes the conversation for buyers who historically chose disk-heavy storage for backup, archive, or sequential data because they assumed all-flash economics were out of reach.
C200 is not the same decision as 5600, 7600, or 9600. It should be evaluated against backup, archive, and capacity economics rather than high-performance OLTP alone.
