Pros
- High Performance
- Added Security feature
- Seamless Hybrid cloud support
- The Scalability option is very good
Cons
- The system is very complex to understand
- The initial upfront cost is very high due to the complex architecture
- Positive Impact on the data back up /Recovery and Data archiving as we can easily access the archived data within span on minutes which is not the case with Public cloud infrastructures
- The built in tools in IBM storage system ensures compliance and reduces security risks
- The latency is very low
The data security architecture together with the data archival and reduce latency helps us to recover the data at a faster speed.
if required IBM storage integrates seamlessly with Other public cloud providers.
The option to Scale up/Down keeps cost in check always as we can reduce the infrastructure depending upon the need
