Revolutionize Your Data Storage Management with Flash Grid Architecture and Storage Partitions
When it comes to IT in today's modern world, we are facing more challenges than ever in managing mission critical data storage, including the increasing risks of being hit by a cyber-attack. This is resulting in an organizational shift for seeking out alternative approaches to building storage architecture in a way that is fast, simple, and secure.
The recently introduced Flash Grid Architecture from IBM provides us a long overdue revolution to data storage management and lifecycle strategies for organizations of all sizes.
Save effort, while maximizing data capacity and performance for your business
With the introduction of Flash Grid, you can deploy a scalable, highly available data plane for monitoring and managing your storage architecture, allowing you to reduce data silos and spend less time on storage management by easily automating and non-disruptively moving data between multiple, connected storage systems. This provides data mobility to different data centers regionally and globally, while rebalancing as workloads grow, and regularly refreshing systems to keep your infrastructure consistently up to date.
This results in data storage technology that guarantees your data and applications are always available, performant, and have the capacity needed to meet your organizations long-term storage objectives while freeing up people and capital to focus on new strategic projects.
Virtualize all your storage in one place, and mobilize quickly when needed
Traditional storage architecture usually results in data silos that lack mobility between systems, making it harder for applications to access data wherever and whenever you need it. With Flash Grid architecture, all the data and logical characteristics that an application needs to access the data are grouped together in a Storage Partition made up of data, host mappings, volume groups and replication policies.
Using intelligent orchestration, Storage Partitions apply user-defined policies to all of the objects they contain for automating updates to all of the relevant configurations. Reducing both the time needed to manage storage as well as user errors.
With data mobility at the touch of a button, Storage Partitions running on Flash Grid allow data to be placed where your applications need it, whether that’s to consolidate capacity, maximize performance or bring new hardware into your storage environment.
Transform your data with Flash Grid
Businesses are going through a digital transformation driven by Hybrid Cloud and AI. With scarce resources and competing projects, it’s never been more important to simplify your data storage strategy.
The introduction of Flash Grid Architecture meets those requirements by delivering operationally resilient data storage with the lowest latency on the market, simple policy-based management, and secure ransomware protection. Resulting in a long-term storage architecture that’s fast, simple, secure, and will provide data protection piece of mind today and into the future.
