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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

IBM Spectrum Scale is used as a file server box. Due to its many supported protocols, it is a good choice when choosing one box to store all your files, access through NFS, CIFS, and BLOCK. It was mainly used to support file access to hospital images (PACS). When we began using it, we had a steady capacity growth of 4 TB/3 months. Thanks to the technology used by separating metadata from data, we were able to store metadata files on SDD disks making it very fast to search and access files. Before that, searching through a filesystem would take minutes, just to list all files.

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

IBM Spectrum Scale is being used to optimize video rendering times and storage economics. The solution is using TS4500 libraries for storage, archiving, and Supermicro Intel Nodes for NSD Servers. The networking is being supported by 1o Gbps Ethernet Switches in the cluster. After the implementation, our review of the current versus past platform shows that it's been optimized by 10 times.
