IBM Cloud Object Storage helps break down barriers for storing massive amounts of data by using an Information Dispersal Algorithm (IDA) and flexible configurations to spread data across multiple nodes using IBM’s patented technologies. IBM combines scalability and data protection with default server-side encryption, simplicity, and innovative search and analysis into a proven platform. IBM Cloud Object Storage is designed to help companies around the world who need to store massive repositories of data with millions or even billions of files or objects.
IBM flexibility positions customers to start with terabytes of storage but grow online to petabytes or even exabytes of data. IBM offers both preconfigured and custom configurations that can be optimized for multiple solutions. All our configurations support running multiple workloads simultaneously on a single system with minimal administration overhead. IBM Cloud Object Storage offers the ability to grow capacity and performance online with system options or software-only configurations.
“We find that clarifying the financial value of an archive system like IBM Cloud Object Storage: that is simple, scalable, secured–resonates with customers. Highlighting the efficiencies and durability of an object-based solution–customers want to dig deeper. The concentrated dispersal mode function provides a cost-attractive solution to clients with a modest budget and allows them an enticing entry point. “- Erik Cline, VP of Sales, Converge One–A Beacon Award-winning IBM Business Partner
