There's a bit more at:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03/02/ibm_adds_sandisk_flash_colour_to_its_storage_spectrum/
When I looks as infiniflash briefly it appeared to be ip presented, so
guess something like and Linux based system in the "controller". So I guess
they have installed gpfs in there as part of the appliance.
It doesn't appear to be available as block storage/fc attached from what I
could see.

Subject: [gpfsug-discuss] IBM-Sandisk Announcement
Anyone from the IBM side that can comment on this in more detail? (OK if
you email me directly) Article is thin on exactly what’s being announced.
SanDisk Corporation, a global leader in flash storage solutions, and IBM
today announced a collaboration to bring out a unique class of
next-generation, software-defined, all-flash storage solutions for the data
center. At the core of this collaboration are SanDisk’s InfiniFlash
System—a high-capacity and extreme-performance flash-based software defined
storage system featuring IBM Spectrum Scale filesystem from IBM.
