Objectives of this white paper

IBM® ECM solutions use analytics to provide access to content for the right people at the right time to help make better decisions. ECM solutions with optimized performance can better deal with the large amounts of content data that is typically involved.

The ECM solution implemented for this case study runs in a virtualized environment on the IBM z Systems™ platform with several layers of performance tuning.

Starting from the z Systems™ hardware, z/VM® hypervisor, Linux™ operating system to ECM applications. Especially the multi-node ECM solution with a shared FileNet® P8 File Storage Area requires a reliable parallel filesystem with good performance like IBM Spectrum Scale™.

One of the major objectives for this case study is to demonstrate the strength of IBM ECM and Spectrum Scale as a winning solution for Linux on z Systems.
