IBM Spectrum Storage Suite
Manage data growth and prepare for the cloud with a bundled suite of software-defined storage (SDS) solutions at a predictable, cost-per-terabyte price.
What IBM Spectrum Storage Suite can do for you business
Improve the way you manage, protect and store data with unlimited access to several IBM software-defined storage products and IBM Cloud Object Storage. IBM Spectrum Storage™ Suite offers licensing on a flat, cost-per-TB basis, making pricing predictable as your capacity grows. You can save up to 40 percent compared with licensing the products separately. Non-production use of the software in test environments is included. By sharing the same, easy-to-use interface, IBM Spectrum Storage makes SDS deployment easier and more cost-effective than ever before.
Benefits
Straightforward per-TB pricing for the entire suite is related to the amount of storage capacity, not the type of storage or how it is used.
There are no licensing headaches when changing from one type of storage to another or from one data type to another.
The license includes all members of the Spectrum Storage family, so there's no delay waiting for procurement of required software. Non-production use of the software in test environments is included.
All members of the IBM Spectrum Storage Suite use a consistent user interface, which reduces needs for training and helps avoid errors caused by differences in product interfaces.
All members of the suite are designed to work together. Plus, experience IBM world-wide support for this entire comprehensive SDS solution.
Key features of IBM Spectrum Storage Suite
Manage your infrastructure efficiently for software-defined, virtual, physical, file, and object storage. IBM Spectrum Control provides monitoring, automation and analytics for multiple-vendor storage systems, software-defined storage, storage-area network (SAN) fabrics, devices, and even cloud storage. Easily transition to new workloads and infrastructures using predictive analytics.
Reduce cost, simplify management, and add features for over 500 storage systems from IBM and others using the same software built into IBM FlashSystem to make block storage more efficient, agile and cloud-ready.
Protect data whether stored in physical file servers, applications, or virtual environments. Scale up to manage billions of objects per backup server and reduce backup infrastructure costs with built-in data efficiency capabilities and the ability to migrate data to tape, public cloud services and on-premises object storage.
Get the lowest-cost reliable data storage as well as the protection of air gap with simplified tape access and the rapid deployment of SDS. Enable direct, intuitive and graphical access to data stored in IBM tape drives and libraries.
Exceed user expectations. IBM Spectrum Scale supports big data analytics and clustered applications with high-performance, scalable storage that enables global collaboration, simplifies workflows and lowers costs with cloud tiering.
Enable AI workloads and consolidate primary and secondary big data storage with industry leading object storage. IBM Cloud Object Storage is used by customers across the globe for modern workloads such as AI, analytics, IoT, video and image repositories and cloud storage for service providers including IBM Cloud.
Unlock the value of your data by improving the quality and speed of development, testing, and analytics. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus™ is a modern data protection solution that provides near-instant recovery, replication, retention, and reuse. Achieve cost-effective data retention, data compliance, and disaster recovery with data offload to on-premises and cloud-based object storage and IBM Spectrum Protect.
