IBM Spectrum Accelerate


Spectrum

Accelerate Realize simplicity.

Cost reduction by delivering hotspot-free storage to different deployment models, on and off premises, paying less for the same capacity, acquiring less hardware, reducing maintenance outlay, and minimizing administrative overhead

Increased operational agility through easy cloud building, faster provisioning, small capacity increments, licensing flexibility that enables you to easily repurpose servers

IBM XIV Solution

THE NEED

Silverpop is moving to the cloud because of

geographical growth and potential issues with data privacy laws for some of their international clients. They have an enterprise

product, that expects enterprise components. Not wanting to build data centers all over the world, Silverpop is looking for a solution that is consistent, durable, and

easily managed.

THE SOLUTION

Silverpop is deploying Spectrum Accelerate to accommodate strategic

organizational goals, while embracing cloud for growth and tier 1 workloads. Also,

they’ll move to a hybrid cloud for DR. This provides

off premise performance that fits their needs.

Silver lining for your cloud


• New deployment model for IBM Spectrum Accelerate: cloud service

• Field-proven, enterprise-grade block storage as a service on SoftLayer

• Predictable, reliable, feature-rich storage in the cloud without the burden of hardware acquisition and upkeep

• Enables disaster recovery solutions between IBM Spectrum Accelerate on cloud and IBM XIV or IBM Spectrum Accelerate on premises

• OPEX model simplifies financials with software, hardware, features, and unlimited traffic bundled all-in-one

• Single management across deployment models: servers, IBM XIV system, self-built cloud, as a service

IBM Spectrum Accelerate What’s NewUltra-flexible enterprise-class hyperscale block storage as a cloud service


•Converges compute and IBM Spectrum Accelerate– Eliminates requirement for dedicated servers– Saves costs by using fewer servers– Enables building hyper-converged solutions based on proven XIV storage

technology

• New enterprise licensing option enables use of IBM Spectrum Accelerate license for IBM XIV systems– Portable licensing across XIV systems and servers, and cloud– Enables greater operational flexibility with same license– Supports infrastructure evolution without additional software expense
