Gen3 XIV Storage -  8Gb front end, infiniband back end, more cache (24GB per module), Nehalem chipset (4 core) and potential for SSD caching yes, yes yes!

So what's the price of the gen3? £737,978.69 for a (55TB) up to £1,697,338 fully loaded gen3 (161TB)

This compares with £636,415.65 for the Gen2 base model (55TB) and of the same capacity and £1,464,560 for the fully loaded gen2.(161TB)

Be sure to push for some significant discounts of these eye watering LIST prices, our Sales team will be more than happy to help you get the best price from IBM!

More and more people are opting for an easy life when it comes to storage. Why suffer the complications of hot spots, RAID rebuilds and complicated life sapping add on performance software. Just buy a really big bucket and rely on the massive parallel IO capacity to even out performance to an acceptable level across your estate. The Gen3 builds on this philosophy and answers some of the critics that struggled with large serial IO that hit the buffers on the original XIV. Buy two today and get happy techies for free.

Another awesome product from IBM. And this time, it is a good news that it has more improved features and more space to store files. Nice work from IBM. Thumbs up.
