Armonk, N.Y. - 20 Jun 2017: IBM (NYSE: IBM ) today
announced a new hybrid-cloud, all-flash family of
storage solutions for mainframe users, which helps
automate the movement of data to and from the cloud.
With hybrid-cloud storage capabilities IBM z Systems
clients now have a new level of control to store their
data where it makes the best economic and business
sense.
Beyond automating the movement of data to and from
the cloud, these solutions can provide savings in CPU
costs and utilization. When archiving large data sets,
having a cloud tier of storage frees the CPU for new
workloads such as Cognitive and Machine Learning.
Larger volumes of more complex data have put an
emphasis on archiving and backup tasks in IBM z
Systems environments, which in turn is consuming more
resources and higher percentage of IT budgets. By
making the cloud available as another storage tier, the
new DS8880 Transparent Cloud Tiering feature provides
multiple options for reducing backup and archiving
costs and complexity.
The IBM DS8880F with Transparent Cloud Tiering also
integrates with IBM Cloud Object Storage to provide a
foundation object storage layer for on-premises private
cloud implementations or to be used to build off-
premises object stores using public cloud resources.
The Transparent Cloud Tiering feature can also provide
direct connectivity to IBM Bluemix Infrastructure public
cloud storage resources for clients who want to build
hybrid cloud solutions that leverage the advantages of
multiple architectures on-site and in the cloud.
Transparent Cloud Tiering leverages existing DS8880
infrastructure through a microcode upgrade and software
license activation with no additional hardware required.
It uses the existing Ethernet ports; includes encryption,
auditing, and security features; and supports IBM
Bluemix, IBM Cloud Object Storage, OpenStack Swift and
Amazon S3 Object Store connectivity.
Availability
With its introduction into the DS8880 line, IBM
Transparent Cloud Tiering functionality is now available
across the IBM Storage portfolio, including IBM
Storwize, FlashSystem, VersaStack, SAN Volume
Controller and Elastic Storage Server solutions.
Simplified licensing enables you to leverage the software
defined storage capabilities of the market-leading IBM
Spectrum Storage Suite no matter which IBM storage
solution you deploy.
