Video IBM Storage



IBM Spectrum Storage

IBM Spectrum Storage portfolio can centrally manage more than 300 different storage devices and yottabytes of data. This device interoperability is the broadest in the industry - incorporating both IBM and non-IBM hardware and tape systems. IBM Spectrum Storage can help reduce storage costs up to 90 percent in certain environments by automatically moving data onto the most economical storage device - either from IBM or non-IBM flash, disk and tape systems.

IBM Spectrum Accelerate

IBM Spectrum Accelerate offers grid-scale block storage with rapid deployment that helps speed delivery of data across an enterprise and adds extreme flexibility to cloud deployments.

The functionality of Spectrum Accelerate is fully based on the IBM XIV, a high-end disk storage system designed to provide consistent and predictable performance, high availability and simple manageability. IBM Spectrum Accelerate and XIV run the same base software stack and interoperate with features such as management, remote replication and volume mobility.

IBM Spectrum Scale

IBM Spectrum Scale is flash-accelerated, industrial-strength, highly-scalable software-defined storage that enables global shared access to data with extreme scalability and agility for cloud and analytics. The product is very widely used in both commercial and academic environments [reference needed]. It has a long history going back to the mid 1990s. It was formerly known as GPFS before IBM re-branded all storage products in 2015.

IBM Spectrum Virtualize

IBM Spectrum Virtualize storage virtualization enhances existing storage to improve resource utilization and productivity to achieve a simpler, more scalable and cost efficient IT infrastructure.

The functionality of IBM Spectrum Virtualize is provided by IBM SAN Volume Controller. IBM Spectrum Virtualize is a block storage virtualization system. Because the IBM Storwize V7000 uses SVC code, it can also be used to perform storage virtualization in exactly the same way as SVC. Since mid-2012 it offers real time compression with no performance impact, saving up to 80% of disk utilization. SVC can be configured on a Stretched Cluster Mode, with automatic failover between two datacenters and can have SSD (Solid State Drives) that can be used by EasyTier software to perform sub-LUN automatic tiering.

IBM Spectrum Control

IBM Spectrum Control provides efficient infrastructure management for virtualized, cloud and software-defined storage to simplify and automate storage provisioning, capacity management, availability monitoring and reporting.

IBM Spectrum Protect

IBM Spectrum Protect enables reliable, efficient data protection and resiliency for software defined, virtual, physical and cloud environments. It is a progression of the Tivoli Storage Management product.

IBM Spectrum Archive

IBM Spectrum Archive enables you to automatically move infrequently accessed data from disk to tape to lower costs while retaining ease of use and without the need for proprietary tape applications.

The functionality of IBM Spectrum Archive is provided by IBM Linear Tape File System. IBM Spectrum Archive works in conjunction with LTO tape technology to simplify accessing data stored on an IBM tape cartridge. It allows users to run any application designed for disk files against tape data without concern for the fact that the data is physically stored on tape.

IBM offers four options:

  • IBM LTFS Single Drive Edition - access and manage data on a standalone tape drive as if the data were on disk
  • IBM LTFS Library Edition - access and manage data on single or multiple cartridges in a tape library
  • IBM LTFS Storage Manager - manage both online and offline files in IBM tape libraries
  • IBM LTFS Enterprise Edition - run applications designed for disk files from tape storage.

Maps IBM Storage



Flash Storage

IBM FlashSystem offers a range of dedicated, non-SSD "all-flash" storage systems and provide flash capacity for a number of integrated systems. In April 2013, IBM announced a plan for a $1 billion investment in flash storage research and development. IBM acquired flash storage system maker Texas Memory Systems in 2012.

The product line-up was renewed in January 2014 with the announcement of the FlashSystem 840 and in February 2014 with the announcement of the FlashSystem V840. Both products were improved in May 2014 with new entry level capacity points and more protocols. IBM has been refreshing those systems and adding new capabilities every year. IBM FlashSystem products are covered under warranty against flash wear.

IBM FlashSystem A9000

IBM FlashSystem A9000 is a 8U rackmount unit with up to 300TB of usable storage capacity provided by FlashSystem 900 modules, managed by IBM Spectrum Accelerate software. It's scalable sibling, the FlashSystem A9000R, consists of a minimum of two units, scaling to 6 units or 1.8 PB usable in a 42U rack. A9000R units share CPU, cache and access paths with their neighbours, leveraging a zero-tuning data distribution design. The FlashSystem A9000 family supports IBM Real-time Compression, real-time global deduplication and real-time pattern removal, while maintaining average access times of 250 µs under database workloads. Up to 144 instances of FlashSystem A9000 and XIV Storage Systems can be combined into one HyperScale cluster with client multitenancy. Since A9000, A9000R and XIV Storage Systems share the Spectrum Accelerate management software, the FlashSystem A9000R is occasionally referred to as XIV Gen4.

It is directly attached via SAS to a maximum of 8 servers used as application cluster or as integrated device running some SDS storage management software, like the IBM Elastic Storage Server. Its design point is lowest price per reliable capacity. In contrast, for lowest price per IOPS or best latency per invest, consider storage built around FlashSystem modules.

IBM DeepFlash Elastic Storage Server

IBM DeepFlash-ESS is an integrated device combining one or two DeepFlash 150 drawers with IBM Spectrum Scale software for Exascale storage repositories with analytics capabilities (Hadoop, CCTV, analytics archive, media server etc.). The DeepFlash-ESS can be clustered non-disruptively with existing IBM Elastic Storage Servers, up to a theoretical limit of 8000 clustered devices. It features file (NFS, SMB), object (Swift, S3) and Hadoop transparent access. Spectrum Scale offers automated data placement and lifecycle management from Memory to Flash to Disk to Tape, besides geographically distributed caching and replication.

IBM Data Engine for NoSQL

IBM Data Engine for NoSQL is an integrated black-box device combining an IBM PowerLinux server with FlashSystem modules attached as non-volatile memory extension (not as storage). The connectivity is realized over ultra-low latency CAPI interfaces (coherent accelerator-processor interface). The integrated system offers large capacity NoSQL services based on pre-loaded Redis, Cassandra and Neo4J, up to 57 TB in-memory instances. Compared to a clustered in-memory implementation, the Data Engine for NoSQL consumes a fraction of the power and rack footprint while delivering similar performance by keeping relevant (hashing) data structures in fast memory. Use cases include scalable web shops, gaming, genomics, geolocation, catalogs, hash tables and cluster caches like memcached.
