User Testimonials
	IBM Storage Scale	Western Digital Ultrastar Data Hybrid Platform
Likelihood to Recommend	IBM When you get a Spectrum Scale solution from IBM you are certain of two things. 1) You will need a specialized storage admin who will be able to take all of its advantages and make available for your organization. It is an appliance that not so many storage admins would be comfortable working on. Invest properly on both hardware and human resources. 2) You will scale forever. We started with a couple of hundred of Terabytes and grew to dozens of Petabytes. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Western Digital No answers on this topic
