The document discusses how IBM's Flash and data virtualization technologies can radically optimize data architectures. Case studies show customers achieving major benefits like reducing an SAP workload time from 6 hours to 6 minutes, cutting storage costs in half, and migrating large amounts of data with zero downtime. IBM has significant investment and momentum in this area with thousands of systems purchased and exabytes of data under management.
