The Leading Storage Solution for Data and AI information architecture
IBM Spectrum Scale is a high-performance, highly available, clustered file system and associated management software, available on a variety of platforms. IBM Spectrum Scale can scale in several dimensions, including performance (bandwidth and IOPS), capacity and number of nodes* (instances) that can mount the file system.
IBM Spectrum Scale addresses the needs of applications whose performance (or performance-to capacity ratio) demands cannot be met by traditional scale-up storage systems; and IBM Spectrum Scale is therefore deployed for many I/O-demanding enterprise applications that require high performance or scale.
Simple building blocks for IBM Spectrum Scale
IBM Elastic Storage Server is a modern implementation of software-defined storage, combining IBM
Spectrum Scale software with IBM POWER8® processor-based I/O-intensive servers and dual-ported
storage enclosures.
BENEFITS
The advantages of IBM Spectrum Scale
Extreme scalability
Leverage no-bottleneck architecture to scale performance for extreme throughput and low-latency access not expected from network-attached storage.
Enable global collaboration
Enable data-anywhere access that spans storage and locations to accelerate applications from edge to data center to cloud and around the world.
Data integrity and security
Take advantage of authentication, encryption, security, erasure coding and replication options to meet your business and regulatory requirements.
Data aware intelligence
Allow Spectrum Scale to grow and share your storage infrastructure while automatically moving file and object data to the optimal storage tier as quickly as possible.
