IBM Storage Scale Solutions
ESS 3500 All NVMe Now Available
The Flexible Cognitive Storage Solution
IBM Storage Scale Systems are a modern implementation of software-defined storage, combining IBM Scale software with IBM POWER9® or AMD processor-based I/O-intensive servers and dual-ported storage enclosures. IBM Scale Storage Software is the parallel file system at the heart of IBM Storage Scale Systems. IBM Storage Scale systems scales system throughput as it grows while still providing a single namespace. This eliminates data silos, simplifies storage management and delivers high performance. By consolidating storage requirements across your organization onto IBM Storage Scale systems, you can reduce inefficiency, lower acquisition costs and support demanding workloads.

Metadata Management for IBM ESS
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)
