File and Object Storage
You can use IBM Storage Scale for real-time collaboration and information sharing.
- On-premise file sync and share solution
- IBM Spectrum Scale for
object storage and ownCloud software technologies helps enterprises to build highly scalable,
secure, and flexible on-premises file sync and share solution. The ownCloud provides universal file
access through a common file access layer to the IBM Spectrum Scale for object storage.
For more information on the on file sync and share solution-premises use case, see the Using IBM Spectrum Scale for object storage and ownCloud white paper.
- Long-term archive storage solution
- A video surveillance system involves selecting better components to run on an open architecture
software platform. In this system, the quantity of the data that is collected is high. The content
that is collected remains idle unless it is retrieved for forensic study or for diagnostic use. The
use of IBM Storage Scale as a disk tier connected to IBM Spectrum Archive as a tape
tier provides unlimited retention of content with fast recall. It is also a very cost-effective
method to protect the content for its entire retention lifecycle.
For more information on the approach template that allows a skilled architect to create a fully tiered hybrid storage environment, see the Long-term archive storage for video surveillance environments white paper.
