Data storage solutions designed for you

When we ask our customers about their storage worries, we frequently discover that implementation of a hybrid cloud, pricing, and cybersecurity are at the top of their lists. To meet these needs, we are releasing new cyber resilience capabilities today along with a flexible consumption model.

We’ll talk about the following:

– Boost cyber resiliency with IBM FlashSystem Safeguarded Copy

– Boost storage adaptability with IBM Storage as a Service

– Enhance performance and availability with new mainframe storage models.

Boost cyber resiliency:

Businesses can now recover swiftly and securely from a cyberattack thanks to the new Safeguarded Copy function for IBM FlashSystem® and IBM SAN Volume Controller, which can cut down recovery time.

According to a timetable, Safeguarded Copy generates effective immutable snapshots automatically. This logical “air gap” protects the snapshots from malware or other dangers because they are stored specifically by the system and cannot be connected to servers. Additionally, they cannot be altered or removed except in accordance with a predetermined schedule, which helps guard against mistakes or unruly employees. Our orchestration tool, IBM Copy Services Manager, assists you in choosing the appropriate Safeguarded backup to employ in the case of an attack and automates the process of restoring data to online volumes.

Boost Storage adaptability:

By enabling a new flexible consumption model for both your on-premises and hybrid cloud infrastructure needs, IBM Storage as a Service, a component of IBM’s flexible infrastructure project, extends your hybrid cloud experience.

It’s simple to start. Choose the beginning capacity, the period of the commitment, and the storage performance tier that you require. Then IBM supplies the IBM FlashSystem storage that matches your needs with 50% extra capacity to allow for plenty of growth. You can deploy storage whenever you need it in less than 10 minutes using installed capacity. And when you consume storage, IBM automatically distributes more once you’ve used 75% of the installed capacity.

Enhance performance and availability:

A new generation of Storage for IBM Z Systems is being introduced by IBM, with the goal of improving performance and availability. New AI and machine learning workloads can be accommodated by the improved performance.

Build the right foundation for your data-driven IT infrastructure with powerful storage solutions

Data storage solutions:

–IBM Flash storage – The integrated IBM FlashSystem platform family gives you access to market-leading performance and efficiency while streamlining operational complexity across on-premises, hybrid cloud, virtualized, and containerized environments.

-Backup and recovery – The IBM FlashSystem® Cyber Vault system, implemented by IBM Lab Services, is intended to enhance cyberattack detection and recovery. It runs continually and keeps track of snapshots as they are generated by Safeguarded Copy utilizing common database tools and automation applications. The IBM FlashSystem® aids in cutting the recovery time from a cyberattack from days to hours by scanning these Safeguarded Copy snapshots for any instant indicators of alterations or corruption brought on by malware or ransomware.

-Hybrid cloud storage – Utilize IBM Storage® solutions for high performance, security-rich hybrid cloud environments to streamline and consolidate them. You can either manage workloads in private data centers and move data in and out of the public cloud, or you may store your data in a private environment and manage workloads in the public cloud. Use with current data lakes or conventional applications.
