IBM Spectrum Control

Edit online

IBM® Spectrum Control is an integrated software solution that can help you improve and centralize the management of your storage environment through the integration of products. With IBM Spectrum Control, it is possible to manage multiple DS8000® systems from a single point of control.

Note: IBM Spectrum Control is not required for the operation of a storage system. However, it is recommended. IBM Spectrum Control can be ordered and installed as a software product on various servers and operating systems. When you install IBM Spectrum Control, ensure that the selected version supports the current system functions. Optionally, you can order a server on which IBM Spectrum Control is preinstalled.
IBM Spectrum Control simplifies storage management by providing the following benefits:
  • Centralizing the management of heterogeneous storage network resources with IBM storage management software
  • Providing greater synergy between storage management software and IBM storage devices
  • Reducing the number of servers that are required to manage your software infrastructure
  • Migrating from basic device management to storage management applications that provide higher-level functions
