Overall Satisfaction with IBM Storage Fusion
It added HCI capabilities to our portfolio with a primary focus on applications centric to Openshift and the path forward to cloud integration and the beginning of the cloud journey.
The shift of technology from costly management of traditional SAN/Storage and the challenges natively faced during the daily administrative process is one of the business challenges addressed and resolved through IBM Storage fusion.

To start Devops journey with IBM fusion storage.
- Well integrated with IBM Maximo in Openshift
- Native cloud applications
- resilient data fabric network with inbuild storage to cater the needs of rapid data growth
- Improvement in areas where Software Defined Storage (SDS) can be better utilized with the broad capabilities of IBM storage features.
- Focus should be shifted towards enabling capabilities of cyber resiliency as the other offerings in the market are already equipped with the same.
- Broader non-IBM/Lenovo hardware support can be considered, specifically for IBM Storage fusion software offerings
- Cloud native applications
- Openshift close integration and support for IBM products.
- smoothened the process of developing new features in the existing products after migration as one single plane of console does all the job
- Reduced the cost in managing a dedicated storage environment
- On the other side, few licenses like existing backup cann't be used instead we have to rely on IBM offerings
VMware vSAN has extensive features in comparison to IBM Fusion storage, but it doesn't have the capability of integrating Redhat Openshift with the application. In addition, IBM offering is a cost-effective solution in the market.
