IBM Storage Fusion vs. IBM System Storage DS8900F

I think its well suited for all modern programming. simple and ease of use are a plus.

Well suited for mainframe CKD based applications. There is unmatched synergy with IBM zSeries when compared to the competition, for example zHPF, SUPERPAV, zHyperLink, cache management and replication technologies. For distributed, the fact that Copy Services Manager comes with the box is a great move on IBMs part to provide replication capability no matter what the applicaiton. I think the DS8k is less suited for smaller distributed environments. I think product overlap with V9000 in this case

• Connecting with multiple application DB of different data types and bringing the normalized data to on a roof/data lake
• Easy to build the models and analytics that's help better understanding of business operation
• AI models such as predictions, forecasts, and suggestions based on individual customer patterns or geo-clusters can build easily

• Remote Copy -- The DS8k has decades of excellent code built to handle the most demanding environments for mainframe or open systems and can be combined with automation solutions like GDPS or Copy Services Manager
• Reliability and Availability -- This is the platform that gets used for the most demanding environments, even when FICON attachment isn't required
• Continued enhancement -- IBM continues to put resources into the DS8k and the platform has advanced with the technology from z and power
• Mainframe synergy -- Poughkeepsie communicates and works very closely with the DS8k developers

• 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

• The DS8000 family still lacks deduplication and compression algorithms.
• For best results on replication enablement, optional Copy Services Manager is suggested.

• I do not know the cost. If it prevents future system wide outages, it will be a great ROI for our company.
