Blueprint, published: Wed, 16 Jun 2021 The focus of this Blueprint is to demonstrate how IBM FlashSystem with IBM Spectrum Virtualize can be used as a preferred back-end persistent storage for VMware Tanzu-based deployments.

The hardware that IBM Spectrum Scale runs on can be thought of as the engine of a motorcycle. The post Spectrum Scale, SDI and my love of motorcycles appeared first on Servers & Storage.

We can help you solve the ‘Million File’ Problem. Data growth in unstructured data for an enterprise is 80%. Backing up large network-attached storage (NAS) data is painful, time-consuming, and unreliable. Fortunately, there is another way… speak to CSI to learn more about dsmISI MAGS and IBM Spectrum Protect.

FlashCopy and Safeguarded Copy can both provide protection from logical data corruption. In contrast to FlashCopy, Safeguarded Copy can be used to create more frequent backups, is more secure, space efficient and provides better performance. Summarized below are differences between FlashCopy and Safeguarded Copy

In continuous data replication methods or mirroring solutions, accidental or malicious data deletion and unintended encryption is also replicated to the backup copy which defeats the purpose of a high availability solution. In addition, regulatory requirements may require certain organization in specific industries such as finance or health care to protect replicated data from content-level destruction.

Redpaper, published: Wed, 9 Jun 2021 With IBM Spectrum Virtualize and the Object-Based Access Control, you can implement multi-tenancy and secure storage usage in a Red Hat OpenShift environment.

Only in 2020, Information technologies incidents caused a direct financial loss of approximately $2 billion dollars in a global scale. Malware / Ransonware are one of the top causes, and as you know, the majority of the incidents are not reported, so this number is actually way bigger. So, what can you do to protect yourself against this threat? To address this huge problem, the solution is not easy, but IBM knows what to do, Eric Herzog, vice president of Storage Channels organizations at IBM explains how to make your Infrastructure secure against this threat in this very special episode.

People tend to think first and foremost about servers when they think of IT infrastructure, but a true system, even if it is a monolithic, standalone server with as few as one or as many as 16 sockets, always includes storage. And in distributed systems that can grow beyond the scale up limits of NUMA machines and scale out to add compute capacity, they always include storage (whether converged on the server nodes or run alongside the cluster on the network) and they also always include networking. No matter what, storage is a big component of every enterprise system, ranging … The post Certified Pre-Owned Storage: More Than Just A Pretty Price appeared first on IT Jungle.

Amber Huffman and Peter Onufryk never could have imagined the little 100-page specification they worked on a decade ago would become a wide standard from phones and tables up to the largest datacenters in the world. … NVMe 2.0 Firms Foundation for Future Storage Shifts was written by Nicole Hemsoth at The Next Platform.

The demo environment uses Red Hat operator OpenShift Container Storage (OCS), Community operator OpenShift APIs for Data Protection (OADP), IBM operator SPP server, and IBM Container Backup Support (BaaS) all installed on OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) 4.5. The SPP server is installed only on the first OCP 4.5 cluster and the Container Backup Support (BaaS) component is installed on both OCP 4.5 clusters as well as OCS and OADP. The SPP server component could have alternatively been installed on a VM outside of OCP for similar capability.
