Store. Scale. Secure. Take care of your data in the cloud.
How to Layout Big Data in IBM Cloud Object Storage for Spark SQL
When you have vast quantities of rectangular data, the way you lay it out on object storage systems like IBM Cloud Object Storage (COS) makes a big difference to both cost and performance of SQL queries. However, this task is not as simple as it sounds. Here we survey some tricks of the trade.
Make your disaster recovery testing easier, faster and cheaper
With IBM Cloud block and file storage, conducting your data DR test is easy and you don’t have to fail over, or otherwise disrupt, your replication configuration while doing your test. Learn more about how IBM Cloud block and file storage helps with DR.

Flexible & secure: Cloud storage solutions for all your workload needs
When it comes to storage in the cloud, having a combination of block, file and cloud object storage gives you the ability to optimize your storage costs all while providing reliability, durability and security. Learn about the IBM Cloud enterprise-grade storage solutions that can help your businesses’ use cases.
Don’t treat your data like an object
In recent years, object storage has become a dominant paradigm for large-scale, cost-effective data storage. Solutions like IBM Cloud Object Storage are both highly scalable and extremely resilient, utilizing ingenious algorithms to distribute data across a cluster of storage systems and provide a high level of fault tolerance. At the same time, these algorithms minimize the number of complete copies of the data that need to be stored, which reduces total data volumes and keeps costs low.
Automate deployment of environments using Infrastructure as Code
IBM Cloud Schematics is a tool that uses Terraform to provision and manages infrastructure resources, Cloud Foundry applications, services, Kubernetes clusters and much more using the code in a configuration file(s).
IBM Cloud Object Storage simplifies and accelerates getting data to the cloud
By 2019, about 60 percent of all enterprise workloads will be in the cloud, according to 451 Research. Only 45 percent of workloads are in the cloud now1. As this transition to cloud continues to grow, speed is an increasingly important factor for companies staying on top of their data.
