Streamlined, cost-effective SDS deployment

Improve the way you manage, protect and store data, with unlimited access to select IBM SDS products and IBM Cloud®Object Storage. IBM Storage Software Suite provides a unified interface that streamlines data management, and cost-per-TB pricing makes it easier to plan as your capacity grows. Non-production use of the software in test environments is included.

Features

• **Efficient infrastructure management. **Monitor, analyze and automate multiple-vendor storage systems, SDS, storage area network (SAN) fabrics, devices and cloud storage.
• **Symmetric virtualization: **Replicate or migrate data between on-prem and public cloud data centers, and add features for more than 500 IBM and non-IBM storage systems.
• **Enterprise-scale data protection: **Achieve comprehensive data resilience for physical file servers, virtual environments and a wide range of applications, with built-in data efficiency.
• **Easy, efficient archive management: **Optimize archival cost with physical air gap protection and direct, intuitive access to data stored in tape drives and libraries.
• **High-performance, scalable storage: **Support big data analytics and clustered applications with automated, policy-driven tiered storage that helps to optimize cost and performance.
• **Industry-leading on-prem object storage: **Enable AI workloads and consolidate primary and secondary big data storage with a software-defined hyperscale solution that runs on premises.
• **Unified data protection for hybrid clouds: **Improve data quality and speed development, testing and analytics — through cost-effective data retention, data compliance and disaster recovery.
• **Optimized AI infrastructure: **Achieve modern AI workflow and metadata management through data discovery, insight and curation for exabyte-scale unstructured storage.

Benefits

• **Simplify financial planning: **Straightforward per-TB pricing for the entire suite is related to the amount of storage capacity, not the type of storage or how it is used.
• **Support business growth: **There are no licensing headaches when changing from one type of storage to another or from one data type to another.
• **Improve efficiency: **All the IBM Storage Software Suite products share a consistent user interface, reducing user errors and the need for training.
• **Simplify support: **All the products are designed to work together, streamlining integration and worldwide support for the complete solution.
