IBM Fusion Access for SAN
IBM Fusion Access is a feature of IBM Fusion
Reduce disruption, extend ROI on storage and modernize your stack confidently.
With native integration in IBM Fusion, virtual machines on Red Hat® OpenShift® Virtualization access SAN-backed volumes with optimal performance.
Secure an intelligent path management and failover to ensure resilient storage connectivity, even during host or path failures.
Migrate to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization by using IBM Scale storage—resilient, scalable and compatible with your existing environment.
Engineered to perform. Designed to recover.
With native IBM Fusion integration, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization VMs access SAN-backed volumes with high performance and resilient connectivity, even during failures. Powered by proven IBM Scale storage, it delivers reliable performance at scale and under pressure.
If all you need is storage to run your VM workloads, this option is the most cost-effective way to do so. It lacks advance capabilities like multicluster management, DR and backup, but core storage operations are possible.
- Up to 128 cores
- 8 TB per server storage
- No backup storage
For VM-only workloads, this option is the best solution. It offers a good price and value ratio while solving all storage-related problems, like backup in a Red Hat OpenShift-native way. Note: DR capabilities are currently a roadmap item.
- Up to 128 cores
- 8 TB per server storage
- 8 TB per server backup storage
Welcome to the future! This choice allows you to run a mix of VMs and containers and solve all data questions that might come up. This option includes backup and in the future, DR. Provides fast answers to persistent data questions from one reliable source.
- Up to 64 cores
- 12 TB per cluster storage
- 12 TB per cluster backup storage
