ExtremeStor GPFS
Now Available with IBM Spectrum Scale ECE
Hyper-Converged, High-Performance Storage
GPFS With No Boundaries
What is IBM Spectrum Scale Erasure Code Edition (ECE)?
IBM Spectrum Scale Erasure Code Edition (ECE) provides converged storage delivered across x86 servers. Applications and storage run on individual x86 servers arranged as high-speed clusters. Also used as composed storage with high-speed Spectrum Scale ECE storage in a storage cluster serving separate compute clusters.
- Scales capacity from multiple TBs to PBs and even multiple EBs while scaling bandwidth as the capacity increases.
- Reduces latency and increases throughput powered by a parallel file system.
- Delivers high IOPS and high bandwidth to support data-hungry GPUs with tens of GB/s of bandwidth per compute server, simultaneously across as many servers as needed.
- ExtremeStor ECE delivers extreme scalability, flash-accelerated performance, and automatic policy-based storage tiering from flash through disk to cloud or even tape—helping reduce storage costs up to 90 percent while providing better security and management efficiency in cloud, big data, and analytics environments.
- ExtremeStor ECE is the ultimate all NVME flash storage system for IBM AC922 and NVIDIA DGX A100 GPU servers as well as high-performance compute clusters.

Metadata Management for ExtremeStor GPFS
IBM Spectrum Discover is modern metadata management software that provides data insight for exabyte-scale unstructured storage. IBM Spectrum Discover indexes metadata for billions of files. This metadata enables data scientists, storage administrators, and data stewards to efficiently manage, classify and gain insights from massive amounts of unstructured data. The insights gained accelerate large-scale analytics, improve storage economics, and help with risk mitigation to create competitive advantage and speed critical research.
• Event notifications and policy-based workflows
• Fine-grained views of storage consumption
• Fast, efficient search through petabytes of data
• Quickly differentiate mission-critical business data
• Policy-based custom tagging
• Extensible via Software Developers Kit (SDK)
