IBM Spectrum Scale - a versatile tool that must be well understood to get the most from it.

  • September 28, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the platform is substantial and unique. It is the only filesystem that combines all the functionality it does with the level of enterprise integration capability and feature-richness of its kind. The platform has impressive developers and multiple teams globally that work on different parts of the project. Perhaps one of the best parts is the ability to have different teams work on different components to achieve customer outcomes. Performance is "king" in Spectrum Scale. It is a parallel filesystem made to "go fast" but it is also a product to "manage" data. It is more than just an HPC filesystem.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a complex product. It is not meant for those that have not worked with these types of technologies before or those who have no familiarity with parallel filesystem technologies. It is a "big" product, has a lot of moving parts and there are many gotchas and pitfalls if care and time are not paid diligence in implementation. The product documentation is also (often) not completely up to date when compared to the release versions, such that a version might be released but its upgrade procedures are not published at that point, so one might find that old instructions do not work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complicated mass-data transit and presentation of very large research data environments. The benefits are the ability to build out a data fabric architecture with technologies such as Spectrum Scale AFM (a part of Spectrum Scale) and the ability to move data around the fabric autonymously.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be very careful with planning and assurance. Understand your environment and be able to articulate it carefully before you try to implement scale. The better information one can give the IBM account team, the better your outcome will be.

Infinite File System

  • July 29, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Scalability and reduced storage costs,
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike nothing with IBM Spectrum Scale.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scalability, starting from small size and you can grow as your needs. Comparing to NAS box there are many gains.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For cold and hot data grading it is a good choice. Why are you going to store your cold archive data in the expensive storages?
