In response to: 5 things you should know about IBM Spectrum Scale (formerly GPFS)

Hi Daniel,
As far as I know, there are no plans for ARM support. However, I would recommend to send feedback to the Spectrum Scale team with the requirements so these can be evaluated.

Announcing the latest draft release of IBM Spectrum Scale (formerly GPFS), SG24-8254

DinoQuintero Tags: gpfs aix system storage windows power linux file spectrum systems scale ibm ‎ 4,821 Views

The residency team is pleased to announce the release of the IBM Redbooks publication: IBM Spectrum Scale (formerly GPFS), SG24-8254. The topics described in this publication are as follows:

Introduction
Infrastructure planning and considerations
Scenarios
Management and maintenance
Information lifecycle management (ILM)
Active File Management (AFM)
Backup and disaster recovery using IBM Spectrum Scale
Problem determination
Encryption
Recovery of the IBM Spectrum Scale file system configuration
How to obtain an IBM Spectrum Scale trial version

The publication can be downloaded at the following website:

Note: The publication has been removed from the website until further notice.

However, there is also a publication that can be used as reference for now until SG24-8254 is available again. The publication is:

Implementing IBM Spectrum Scale

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp5254.html?Open

Although it is not a complete 1-1 replacement of SG24-8254, it provides a details on how to implement IBM Spectrum Scale.

Note: The initial version of this publication was released on February 23, 2015 to support the IBM re-branding announcement of the solution.

The residency team encourages the readers to send us feedback.

Keep tune to http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/ under the Residencies Tab for upcoming IBM Power Systems residency announcements.

5 things you should know about IBM Spectrum Scale (formerly GPFS)

Spectrum Scale now part of IBM Spectrum Storage family, part of IBM's $1 Billion investment in software defined storage.
Single global namespace across all data tiers, including flash and cloud (service on Softlayer).
Object storage with integration with Swift (will be better with 4.1.1 release, not sure you can say that in a blog).
Scalability to handle the massive, ever-growing amounts of data in the new CAMS world.
Open and flexible, available as software (on almost any hardware), as a bundled IBM solution, or as a service running on Softlayer.

For more information, refer to the IBM Spectrum Scale website at: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/storage/spectrum/scale/.

Announcing the IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) Update Residency

DinoQuintero Tags: gpfs power aix parallel general system file windows ibm systems linux ‎ 5,370 Views

This project will update the previous GPFS publication: Implementing the IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) in a Cross Platform Environment, SG24-7844. Additional areas to explore and document are:

• GPFS as a part of IBM’s broader software-defined storage environments

• Review use cases and expand the breadth of applicability of GPFS beyond traditional HPC use cases – SAP HANA, DB2 BLU Acceleration, Hadoop Analytics, Object store for OpenStack, and so on.

• Document GPFS FPO as a part of the GPFS capability for Big Data (not covered in prior IBM RedBooks)

• Position the IBM Platform Computing cloud service for clients needing high-performance software-defined storage in the cloud

• Explain the synergy between GPFS and storage intensive IBM products: Platform Symphony, Platform LSF, Algo, DataStage (where GPFS is part of the big data references architecture), Optim, BigInsights, Streams, SPSS, and so on.

In addition to updating the GPFS publication, the residency team will explore and document the following topics:

o An overview of the Platform Computing Cloud Services

o MultiCluster technology is central to the cloud service since this is how hybrid clusters are deployed

o GPFS as an option in the cloud service and why it is valuable

o Comparative economics of deploying on-premise vs. in the cloud
