Trends that are redefining the IT environment

From monolithic applications to dynamic services

From static infrastructure to cloud services

From programmed systems to learning systems

From structured data at rest to unstructured data in motion

From stable well-defined workloads to unpredictable workloads

From standard devices to a variety of devices

From proprietary standards to open innovation2

Network Performance Monitoring and Parallel Active File Management

Network Performance Monitoring• Optimal performance depends on proper network performance • Elastic Storage 4.1 introduces network performance monitoring by RPC latency to detect and

troubleshoot networking issues that may affect operation

AFM Parallel Data Transfers• AFM environments now support parallel data transfers between sites.

‒ Multiple gateway nodes can be used to transfer a single file, improving performance

Some Reading !

Elastic Storage• Software defined storage optimized for new generation

applications and built to leverage new scale-out physical infrastructure. Elastic Storage is built for large scale distributed cluster applications and analytics – now with enhanced security, flash accelerated performance, and improved usability

IBM Software Defined Storage• Delivers automated, policy-driven, application-aware

storage services through orchestration of the underlining storage infrastructure in support of an overall software defined environment
