Data challenges on a IBM Cloud Object Storage System™
Traditional storage systems need to protect data on three levels:
- Drives
- Nodes
- Geographies
This has been managed through:
- RAID arrays for drives
- High Availability systems or appliances for nodes
- Replication of data across geographies
A system protects against all simultaneously. This requires a unique solution to data protection. IBM achieves this using a group of software agents collectively known as the Rebuilder.
