Access and process any type of data, on any type of storage device: IBM Software Defined Storage Technology, advices and stakes.

In today’s data-driven world, devices-driven, sensors-driven, business processes-driven, and social networks-driven world, Connectikpeople.co always encourages companies, enterprises and public sectors to focus in real-time on competitive advantages, vital and actionable insights offered by  smart devices, sensors, business processes, and social networks.

We seize this opportunity to talk about a new portfolio of software defined storage products from IBM.  

As a must-attend landmark for digital transformation for the companies of all sizes, Connectikpeople.co hails this new comer and is excited to observe that, the new storage software aims to be ideally suited for the most data-intensive applications, which require high-speed access to massive volumes of information (e.g., seismic data processing, risk management and financial analysis, weather modeling, and scientific

research, etc.).

Elastic Storage builds on IBM’s global file system software, can provide online storage management, scalable access, and integrated data governance tools capable of managing vast amounts of data and billions of files.

Elastic Storage can virtualize the storage allowing multiple systems and applications to share common pools of storage. Users can have continuous and highly-available access to data in the event of software or hardware failures.

Connectikpeople.co also observes that, with its policy-driven features and real-time analytics, Elastic Storage can automatically move infrequently-used data to less expensive low-cost tape drives, while storing more frequently-accessed data on high-speed Flash systems for quicker access.

The software features native encryption and secure erase, which can ensure that data is irretrievable to comply with regulations such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley.

For our open source fans, its support of OpenStack cloud management software, can  enables users to store, manage and access data across private, public and hybrid clouds for global data sharing and collaboration. OpenStack Cinder and Swift, POSIX and Hadoop, as open APIs, are available.
