Software Defined Storage

A real driving force within IT today and within business itself stems from the need to gain and maintain competitive advantage by deriving greater value from data assets. Simply storing data isn’t enough.

Making faster, more informed business decisions; staying ahead of the competition; creating better customer experiences; implementing the best possible fraud protection and data security — these and many similar requirements are the drivers of the new era of cognitive business.

To help them derive more value from their data assets, many businesses around the globe have already begun deploying a new type of enterprise data storage called software‐defined storage (SDS). This technology essentially transforms traditional, manually operated storage into “thinking” systems that automatically monitor your data, move it appropriately, and perform a long list of powerful functions that ultimately lower the cost and complexity of storage while making your data more valuable to you than ever before.

IBM® Spectrum Storage™ Suite gives you the power and flexibility to help meet these challenges. As a comprehensive suite of solutions, IBM Spectrum Storage Suite allows you to meet evolving storage needs, simplify existing storage management and reduce storage cost and complexity.

IBM Spectrum Storage Suite achieves this by helping you:
