This document discusses the benefits of software defined storage (SDS) in addressing challenges posed by changing business needs, data growth, and complexity. It introduces IBM's Spectrum Storage family which provides a comprehensive set of SDS offerings that can be deployed flexibly on cloud, as an appliance, or software. The solutions aim to securely "unbox" data from hardware constraints and optimize storage costs through analytics-driven management and automatic data placement across systems. Case studies show customers transforming their storage and reducing costs with IBM Spectrum Storage.

70% of organizations are committed to the hybrid cloud approach. Learn about IBM Storage's solutions and offerings that are helping leading organizations build robust storage foundations for hybrid clouds.
Data analytics, Spark, Hadoop and AI have become fundamental tools to drive digital transformation. A critical challenge is moving from isolated experiments to an organizational or enterprise production infrastructure. In this talk, we break apart the modern data analytics workflow to focus on the data challenges across different phases of the analytics and AI life cycle. By presenting a unified approach to data storage for AI and Analytics, organizations can reduce costs, modernize their data strategy and build a sustainable enterprise data lake. By anticipating how Hadoop, Spark, Tensorflow, Caffe and traditional analytics like SAS, HPC can share data, IT departments and data science practitioners can not only co-exist, but speed time to insight. We will present the tangible benefits of a Reference Architecture using real-world installations that span proprietary and open-source frameworks. Using intelligent software-defined shared storage, users are able to eliminate silos, reduce multiple data copies, and improve time to insight.PALLAVI GALGALI, Offering Manager,IBM and DOUGLAS O'FLAHERTY, Portfolio Product Manager, IBM
