With businesses creating, analysing and keeping more data than ever before, the cloud is becoming difficult to manage within organisations. It's important to deliver insights faster while managing rapid infrastructure growth.
When delivering those insights, an organisation's underlying information architecture must support the hybrid cloud, big data and AI workloads, along with traditional applications, while ensuring security, reliability, data efficiency and high performance.
IBM Spectrum Scale™ meets these challenges as a scale-out high performance global parallel file system.
