It's proven technology in a compact, affordable solution

Pros

"FlashSystem offers proven technology in a compact package. "

Cons

"IBM could do more marketing and improve brand awareness. I had never heard of this product until a colleague told me about it. FlashSystem could add a few features, but it would probably increase the price. For example, Pure Storage offers instant snapshotting and partitioning. That would be nice to have, but I think the cost would go up. "
