Overview
IBM Storage Scale container native is a containerized version of IBM Storage Scale.
IBM Storage Scale is a clustered file system that provides concurrent access to a single file system or set of file systems from multiple nodes. The nodes can be SAN attached, network attached, a mixture of SAN attached, and network attached, or in a shared-nothing cluster configuration. IBM Storage Scale enables high-performance access to this common set of data to support a scale-out solution or to provide a high availability platform. For more information about IBM Storage Scale features, see Product overview in IBM Storage Scale documentation.
IBM Storage Scale container native allows the deployment of IBM Storage Scale in a Red Hat OpenShift cluster. IBM Storage Scale container native deployment makes persistent data store available via either IBM Storage Scale remote filesystem or local filesystem. This data store can be used by the applications through the IBM Storage Scale CSI driver by using Persistent Volumes (PVs). For more information, see IBM Storage Scale Container Storage Interface Driver in IBM Storage Scale CSI documentation.

Technology preview features are not supported for use within production environments. Use with nonproduction workloads, in demo or proof of concept environments only. IBM production service level agreements (SLAs) are not supported. Technology preview features may not be functionally complete. The purpose of technology preview features is to give access to new and exciting technologies, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. The existence of a technology preview feature does not mean a future release is guaranteed. Feedback is welcome and encouraged.
