IBM Spectrum
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 Spectrum®Storage 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.
Benefits
| Simplify financial planning | Support business growth |
| 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. | There are no licensing headaches when changing from one type of storage to another or from one data type to another. |
| Enable rapid testing | Improve efficiency |
| The license includes the full Spectrum Storage product family, so there’s no delay waiting for procurement of required software. | All the IBM Spectrum Storage 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. |
