PART 1

Cloud services drive innovation and aid business agility


Storage challenges

Storage connectivity in the Hybrid Multicloud era matters. Storage

must have a way to connect to the cloud.

Storage location in Hybrid Multicloud matters depending on data

security, regulatory environments, performance,

and availability requirements.

Speed of adoption in the Hybrid Multicloud era matters.

NVMe, Storage Class Memory (SCM),

and Software-Defined Storage (SDS)

Old and New


65%cut infrastructure costs

59%avoid vendor lock-in and avoid data stored with

different vendors' technologies in silos

across the enterprise.

Positioning Differences between Spectrum Virtualize

& Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud

Spectrum Virtualize is the software

that runs on premises in the IBM

Storwize family, FlashSystem family,

SVC (SAN Volume Controller).

Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud is

a separate product, with separate licensing

terms and runs on supported public cloud

infrastructure - IBM Cloud, and AWS today.

Technically, Spectrum Virtualize for Public

Cloud is largely based on Spectrum

Virtualize, but adapted to run on public

cloud infrastructure, such as IBM Cloud

and AWS EC2. Key differences:

• Clustering / Failover

• Shared Network Infrastructure

• Back end virtualization

• Deployment

• Ansible is an IT automation tool. It can configure systems, deploy software, and orchestrate more advanced IT tasks such as continuous deployments or zero downtime rolling updates.

• Ansible manages machines in an agent-less manner. Uses OpenSSH and WinRM

• Ansible is decentralized–it relies on your existing OS credentials to control access to remote machines.

• Ansible can easily connect with Kerberos, LDAP, and other centralized authentication management systems.
