The DS8870 features an integrated high-performance flash
enclosure with flash cards that can delivers up to 250,000 IOPS
and up to 3.4 GBps bandwidth. A high performance all-flash drive
configuration is also available. The DS8870 also features
enhanced 8 Gbps device adapters and host adapters. Connectivity
options, with up to 128 Fibre Channel/IBM FICON® ports for host
connections, make the DS8870 suitable for multiple server
environments in open systems and IBM System z® environments.
