IBM Storage Scale vs. SUSE Enterprise Storage (discontinued)

IBM Spectrum Scale creates excellent and real time data results and the capability to extract data and data modeling tools via IBM Spectrum Scale is amazing. The capacity planning and data archiving and the data security offered by IBM Spectrum Scale is more productive and the data quality control using the system is impressive.

This is the most powerful platform that administers all our storage capacity. It has great server that distributes data from various sources to each department. It has secure database that cannot be easily compromised by unauthorised access. Data backup has given us more trust with this product since we can focus on more productive tasks. The customer support is reliable and can easily be reached when there is arising performance challenge.

When we implemented the Spectrum Scale solution, we had in place a NetApp FAS series working in Metro Cluster mode. What is great about NetApp is its low maintenance. On the other hand, it lacks performance, especially on the CPU nodes. We needed a solution that will deliver steady performance while keeping a steady growth.

My experience with SUSE Enterprise Storage has been great. I have not come across any powerful platform that is more reliable in data storage and backup than this software. It has great servers that monitors data across our enterprise. Data transfer from one department to other is well monitored and the network paths are always secure. Licensing and maintenance of the available plans does not incur added cost that can affect operations in our company.
