This IBM® Redbooks publication presents the architecture, design, concepts, and technology that are used in IBM FlashSystem® A9000 and IBM FlashSystem A9000R.

FlashSystem A9000 and FlashSystem A9000R deliver the microsecond latency and high availability of IBM FlashCore® technology with grid architecture, simple scalability, and industry-leading IBM software that is designed to drive your business into the cognitive era.

Comprehensive data reduction capabilities, including inline deduplication and a powerful compression engine, help lower total cost of ownership. The Hyper-Scale Manager highly intuitive user interface simplifies management.
From a functional standpoint, FlashSystem A9000 and FlashSystem A9000R take advantage of most of the software-defined storage features that are offered by the IBM Spectrum Accelerate™ software, including multi-tenancy and business continuity functions. Starting with software version 12.1, the IBM HyperSwap® feature delivers always-on, high availability (HA) storage service for storage volumes in a production environment. Software version 12.2 introduces cross-generation asynchronous mirroring with IBM XIV® Gen3. With Software version 12.2.1, cross-generation Hyper-Scale Mobility allows online volume migration from XIV Gen3 to FlashSystem A9000 or A9000R.

This publication is intended for those individuals who need to plan, install, tailor, and configure FlashSystem A9000 and FlashSystem A9000R.
