- IBM triples system capacity to support heavier AI and supercomputing data demands
- New flash enclosure enables larger caches designed for dense multitenant cluster workloads
- Expanded hardware targets operators scaling parallel processing pipelines across massive datasets
IBM has expanded the Storage Scale System 6000 to support a full rack capacity of up to 47PB, following the introduction of new All-Flash Expansion Enclosures equipped with 122TB QLC flash drives.
This update represents a threefold jump from earlier limits and is aimed at environments that handle high-volume data operations.
The system is positioned for organisations that work with supercomputing tasks, large AI pipelines, and cloud computing service delivery.
Hardware built for heavier throughput
The company claims the new design can sustain workloads that rely heavily on steady throughput and high availability.
It also states that the larger platform simplifies scaling for operators that maintain…
