Eric Herzog, vice president of marketing for IBM storage systems and software defined, says IBM Business Partners good business can do with his Spectrum software-defined storage and Flash System flash storage solutions.
IBM is the largest supplier of flash capability (EMC is a leader in flash storage revenue after PureSystems, IBM, ed.). Customers often prefer to buy flash storage instead of hard drives, says Herzog. “Many customers are not about to flash but do go make that transformation. This is a business opportunity of $ 20 billion by 2019 with IBM Business Partners to sell Flash System Solutions, a technology that is under from the acquired in 2012, Texas Memory Systems. IBM sells its flash entirely indirectly, and has more than $ 1 billion invested in flash storage technology. “
Spectrum
In addition to storage hardware products such as the DS8000 Flash System and XIV systems (Netflix used include, ed) there is a new offering from IBM Spectrum software-defined storage Herzog said. “IBM software defined storage is cheap, can store more data and works well with software-defined infrastructure on IBM Power Systems and the Versa Tack Converged Infrastructure solutions that help customers gain access to a hybrid cloud for their applications, workloads and specific solutions such as analytics applications. Spectrum Virtualize software provides a heterogeneous platform for service configurations, and create a virtualized backup all interfaced storage, even from other brands storage solutions, not just IBM. “
DevOps
According to Herzog especially want to know what a CIO’s storage, be it hardware or software, can do for the business of a company. It is important that storage software can be deployed rapidly by seasoned storage specialists working in IT departments and DevOps specialists. “IBM Spectrum is the wish of the CIO meet,” said Herzog.
IBM Spectrum consists of a number of solutions. IBM Spectrum Accelerate provides block storage at grid level for data access and flexibility of cloud systems. IBM Scale Spectrum offers flash-accelerated and scalable software-defined storage to the data access and is suitable for cloud and analytics. IBM Spectrum Virtualize software is the heart of the IBM SAN Volume Controller and IBM Storwize family. Thanks Spectrum Virtualize offer these systems for virtualization with better productivity and utilization of resources. IBM Spectrum Control ensures efficient management of infrastructure for many forms of storage (virtualized, cloud and software-defined) and is able to simplify storage provisioning, capacity management, availability monitoring and reporting and automation. IBM Spectrum Protect provides data protection and resiliency of storage environments such as software-defined, virtual, physical and cloud. IBM Spectrum Archive, data that are accessed infrequently, are automatically moved from disk to less expensive tape, without the customer has special tape applications required.
Storwize
Herzog further reports that a new upgrade to the IBM Storwize V5000, built with IBM Spectrum Virtualize software. “The latest generation includes three models: the V5010 for the low-end, midrange V5020 and V5030 with real-time compression.” The offer according to Herzog is a flexible user friendly hybrid storage solution with improved performance, specifically to support large organizations. Storwize V5000 has a new processor and an extra cache which provides more speed and scalability. Storwize V5000 enables according to Herzog possible to consolidate existing infrastructure and to broaden the functionality. With flexible licensing options and three new models, the reseller can sell this scalable solution to customers.
IBM Spectrum According to Herzog also suitable for Clever Safe object based storage (obs) technology that IBM acquired earlier, which could be much data save as video surveillance data . Clever Safe dsNet software portfolio is suitable for cloud and on-premises data centers. Object-based storage (obs) platforms are increasingly being deployed as part of the cloud and enterprise IT infrastructure. This is caused because there is a need petabyte scalable data storage for workloads, big data and the cloud
