Overview
Solving AI data challenges with a global data fabric
IBM Spectrum® Scale provides a global platform that solves modern AI challenges with a single source of truth and a global data fabric. We provide not just a set of storage products or solutions to help solve your AI challenges, but a data strategy that creates high-performance, fluid data for your organization. Take advantage of multiple ways to concurrently ingest and access data and at the same time. Connect data sources from edge to core to cloud with protection, security and data optimization scalable to 8YB of capacity.
Benefits
Connect applications
Create an environment where data flows freely from edge to core to cloud and not locked into data silos that limit growth and agility.
Maximize resources
Allow applications to access the same data no matter what storage interface is used or where the storage is located.
Modernize without compromise
Optimize all your workloads and gain the performance, security, protection and efficiency you require.
What’s new for IBM Spectrum Scale
