Rating: 10 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
In our case we use it in two ways, the first in our internal laboratory where it is connected to the development and testing servers for the applications that are supported by our clients with whom we manage their services and the other way we use IBM Spectrum Virtualize is with the clients where we manage the storage service.
Pros
- Provision drives over fiber and/or iSCSI connections
- Perform volume replications between 2 storages efficiently
- The ability to virtualize other storage and make it easy to provision
Cons
- I would like the management of connections through the network to be easy to see
- The new GUI is easy to use but has less viewing area in the sections than the previous one
- The configuration in the new GUI on remote copies is more complicated than the previous one that showed everything in 2 tabs
Likelihood to Recommend
IBM Spectrum Virtualize is very suitable for the virtualization part since it is easy to connect the hypervisors with the storage, also for the video surveillance part since it connects with the recording applications easily, it is also easy to create groups of volumes or hosts for the management of many units at the same time.
