Television, movies, and comic books have featured the dynamic duo of Batman and Robin, who battle crime and keep the world safe. Batman is typically portrayed as tall and strong, while Robin is short and snappy. A perfect duo! They complement each other to get the job done.

In the world of data protection, there is another dynamic duo: IBM Spectrum Protect and IBM Spectrum Scale. To learn how these two products complement each other, read the recently updated white paper:
Configuring IBM Spectrum Protect for IBM Spectrum Scale Active File Management

The authors are Dominic Müller-Wicke of the IBM Spectrum Protect development team and Nils Haustein of the IBM EMEA Storage Competence Center.

The solution described in this paper integrates the IBM Spectrum Scale Active File Management caching layer with IBM Spectrum Protect for Space Management and IBM Spectrum Protect backup-archive clients. The recently published updates provide new tips and guidelines for configuration and clarify advice about disaster recovery protection.

Müller-Wicke reports that many customers from a broad range of industries are successfully implementing data storage and protection solutions by integrating IBM Spectrum Protect and IBM Spectrum Scale. He is scheduled to provide details of the solution at the IBM Spectrum Scale Strategy Days conference, to be held near Stuttgart, Germany, on March 8 and 9, 2017.
