When you get a Spectrum Scale solution from IBM you are certain of two things. 1) You will need a specialized storage admin who will be able to take all of its advantages and make available for your organization. It is an appliance that not so many storage admins would be comfortable working on. Invest properly on both hardware and human resources. 2) You will scale forever. We started with a couple of hundred of Terabytes and grew to dozens of Petabytes.

Springpath is the only platform that is unique in enhancing excellent networking across our organization. I have not worked with similar products though this platform ensures that internet connection between our company and customers is excellently managed. It gives us reliable and secure data center for saving all customers contacts for future use during email marketing campaigns.
