Due to data’s absolute volume of growth and criticality to the business, how and where businesses store this ever-growing data storage pool has become more important than ever. The IT infrastructure used to host this critical data, whether on-prem or in the cloud must be able to scale with growth, security, and availability all critical factors in addition to performance. With containers, organizations can deliver flexible storage solutions that enable organizations of all types and sizes to meet the challenges of rapid data growth with constrained IT budgets efficiently and affordably. Implementing container technology is a key to accelerating agility and competitiveness by unlocking the power and potential of private and public cloud environments.

Today modern storage solutions must be adaptable to meet the full requirements for existing and the new modern container applications. Infrastructure to host both applications types is as has always been a critical factor. IBM products are designed with extensive support for today’s Software Defined Storage (SDS) storage solutions available with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform deployment both on-prem and in the cloud. Solutions such as Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation, IBM Spectrum Scale, and others provide an easy on bridge to the cloud, with easy connection to both off premise and hybrid cloud.

This ATG Accelerate will provide a quick review of the IBM Storage for Red Hat OpenShift and why this is so critical for your enterprise to understand.
