SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
As data volumes surge and sustainability becomes a boardroom imperative, storage infrastructure must evolve to be both high-performing and environmentally responsible. This session explores how IBM FlashSystem—an industry-leading all-flash storage solution—integrates sustainability at every stage of its lifecycle. Drawing on insights from IBM's engineering practices and sustainability benchmarks, we examine how FlashSystem optimizes energy efficiency through dense form factors, innovative data reduction technologies (such as hardware-accelerated compression), and intelligent energy management.
The presentation also highlights IBM’s responsible material sourcing, reduced carbon footprint through smaller rack-space requirements, and robust end-of-life design—including recyclability and take-back programs. By leveraging IBM FlashCore technology and NVMe architecture, the FlashSystem family delivers exceptional performance per watt, aligning with modern sustainability goals without compromising enterprise-grade resilience or scalability.
This case study exemplifies IBM's commitment to environmental stewardship, showcasing how sustainable storage is not just a trend—but a strategic imperative. Attendees will gain actionable insights into designing and operating greener storage infrastructures that meet both business and planetary needs.
