Spectrum Control

Improve flexibility and application performance while lowering costs

IBM Spectrum Control provides efficient infrastructure management for virtualized, cloud, and software-defined storage to simplify and automate storage provisioning, capacity management, availability monitoring and reporting. The functionality of IBM Spectrum Control is provided by IBM data and storage management solutions.

IBM data management and storage management solutions provide improved visibility, simplified administration, and greater scalability. They address the two most significant storage costs: physical capacity and storage administration. You can get important insights into cloud, virtualized and software defined storage environments.

IBM data management and storage management solutions can help to:

• Identify and categorize storage assets for file, block and object data
• Generate departmental and application views of storage
• Optimize data placement within the infrastructure
• Identify unused and wasted storage space

Try it on the cloud! IBM Storage Insights can do all of this and more, with no hardware to install and only one VM to deploy, when one or more IBM storage systems are installed.

Deploy it on-premises! IBM Virtual Storage Center provides a richer experience with an active administration console, automated storage provisioning and tier optimization. Virtual Storage Center includes a storage service catalog, drivers for OpenStack and VMware and application aware snapshot management. Choose from different license plan options.
