Product Overview
The IBM 01EK070 (P/N: 00ND045) is a Node Canister Controller Assembly designed for use in IBM FlashSystem 840 and FlashSystem 900 all-flash storage arrays. This fully redundant canister houses a RAID controller, two host interface card slots (supporting Fibre Channel, FCoE, or iSCSI), a management controller with integrated 1GbE Ethernet management port, a USB port, and two hot-swappable fan modules. FlashSystem enclosures deploy two of these canisters in an active-active redundant configuration, ensuring continuous availability for mission-critical enterprise workloads including OLTP databases, VDI environments, and cloud infrastructure. This unit supersedes IBM P/N 00WV390.
