Cisco Cloud Object Storage (COS) vs. IBM Elastic Storage Server

IBM Cloud storage is a platform for backing up and archiving an unlimited amount of data in a simple, inexpensive, and adaptable manner. It adds additional smart tier capabilities, such as automatic tier categorization and cost optimizations depending on data activity. More secure storage of sensitive information through encryption and fine-grained regulation. A single, permanent, safe, and inexpensive location for all that historical data is IBM's cloud. Now, with query-in-place and machine-learning technologies, developers may create a data lake from which to draw meaningful insights. Offering both high levels of data durability and transmission speed, it is ideal for storing sensitive information on devices that must remain unchanged. Because of the service's excessive latency, a conventional database cannot be stored on it.

Reliable data storage and access is a big challenge in AI applications and IBM ESS is a service you need to solve the problem. If you are building an AI service and you already use the IBM ecosystem for AI compute requirements, ESS can serve as an excellent software based storage solution. Integration with other platforms such as EMR/Databricks is still a challenge and should be improved.

• Powerful processing power, literally support unlimited scale out storage capabilities
• well integrated and supported with multi flavor environment and file systems.
• Huge capacity with in a very reduced form factor of disks/enclosures

• Better 3rd party integration is needed for the use cases where applications can use Cisco Cloud Object Storage (COS) directly.
• Cisco Cloud Object Storage (COS) implementation with an On-premise network can be made more robust.
• There can be some enhancement in the version control feature of the files specifically for the REST API based applications.

IBM ESS is optimized for AI and Big Data usecases while S3 is a general purpose storage solutions. EMR and Databricks have lakehouse/data warehousing solutions for distributed computing but are more optimized for just the big data pipelining solutions and not essentially for AI usecases, especially for inference, when you need to load model artifacts really quickly.
