IBM Storage Scale BYOL Marketplace Offering
Overview
IBM Storage Scale is a high performance, highly available, clustered file system and associated management software, available on a variety of platforms. IBM Storage Scale can scale in several dimensions, including performance (bandwidth and IOPS), capacity and number of nodes* (instances) that can mount the file system. IBM Storage Scale addresses the needs of applications whose performance (or performance-to-capacity ratio) demands cannot be met by traditional scale-up storage systems; and IBM Storage Scale is therefore deployed for many I/O-demanding enterprise applications that require high performance or scale. IBM Storage Scale provides various configuration options, access methods (including traditional POSIX-based file access), and many features such as snapshots, compression, and encryption. Note that IBM Storage Scale is not itself an application in the traditional sense, but instead provides the storage infrastructure for applications.

- Advanced Storage Management of Unstructured Data

New VPC (Single-AZ)
Use this Marketplace launch option to set up the following configurable environment on AWS: A virtual private cloud (VPC) that spans two Availability Zones and includes two public and two private subnets, for security and high availability. The number of subnets is configurable. An internet gateway to allow access to the internet. In the public subnets, managed NAT gateways to allow outbound Internet access for resources in the private subnets. In a public subnet, a bastion host to provide Secure Shell (SSH) access to the IBM Spectrum Scale cluster. The bastion host instance is managed by an Auto Scaling group of 1, ensuring there will always be one host available An AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) instance role with fine-grained permissions for access to AWS services necessary for the deployment process. Appropriate security groups for each instance or function to restrict access to only necessary protocols and ports. The Quick Start opens only ports for SSH and the IBM Spectrum Scale Daemon. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances for each logical role in the IBM Spectrum Scale deployment, in Auto Scaling groups. These consist of IBM Network Shared Disk (NSD) storage server instances and IBM Spectrum Scale compute instances.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

What do you like best about the product?
As SDS Solution it is a flexible Plattform to fit our Storagechellanges in all aspect to provisioning a performant, scalable Storage Solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
In some areas of function there are some gaps to interoparate with the current implementation of IAM Provider like sssd on redhat. An other aspect of scale there are very complex filesystem with many parameters thats are great, but the different usecases generate different io pattern. This genrate different performance tuneing options that are not very good documented and there are small hints available to automate and write the correct values to optimize this. This is currently science work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spectrum scale is in our company in many areas established. It hosted our complete Backup, Archive, most Filesystem-Protocol and complete Container-Storage plattform. An other usecase are our SAS-Institute Plattform as our analytics Cluster.

What do you like best about the product?
1. It is easily scalable with its clustering options to support high storage requirement's. 2. It could support both Hot-Hot datacenter approach i.e. both replica could active at a same time. 3. Very good and innovative option to store large amount of data. 4. Though it is product of IBM but it could support both IBM and non-IBM storage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. It works pretty well. So no complaints.

What do you like best about the product?
It can write the same file at two or more application node at a time. And User can access those file concurrently.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need or consume more storage fo write the same file at two or more application node at a time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now I am solving slowness of concurrent file usages for our Production Image data with IBM Spectrum Scale or GPFS.
As a result, our users are accessing concurrent Production Image data quickly without any delay.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Strongly Recommended to other users who will use concurrent user access data from many branches. The setup of the IBM Spectrum Scale in the server is not complex too.
