Overall Satisfaction with IBM Spectrum Scale

We evaluated Spectrum for use by large organizations who were looking to streamline their storage management.
  • Provides a single pane of glass for storage management
  • Orchestrates both IBM and non-IBM storage
  • Can manage both cloud and on-premise storage
  • Price
  • Requires a learning curve and training to manage the product
  • Allowed reuse of existing storage
  • Flexibility to provision storage quickly, allowing us to right size storage.
Spectrum Scale is a unique product in that it allows for both storage management and orchestration.
IBM Spectrum Scale works well for large organizations who have a combination of storage devices, in a complex technical environment. It also is well suited for organizations who are trying to get the most out of both new and existing storage devices.
