Features:
Hybrid cloud migration and disaster recovery
Using sophisticated replication technology, IBM Spectrum Virtualize enables migration of data and continuous replication between on-premises storage and IBM Cloud, AWS, or Microsoft Azure.
Cyber resilience
Prepare for fast recovery from a cyber attack by enabling creation of data copies that are isolated from servers. Recover data quickly following an attack, either on-prem or in the cloud.
Proven solution
Available in IBM Cloud, AWS, and Microsoft Azure, IBM® Spectrum Virtualize™ is the leading software-defined storage that has been proven for years in IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC) and FlashSystem® families of storage systems, and VersaStack™.
Hybrid cloud capability for storage you already own
Available with on-premises systems built with IBM Spectrum Virtualize software: IBM SAN Volume Controller, IBM FlashSystem family and VersaStack. With these, easily deploy hybrid cloud capability without changing your existing storage.
Hybrid cloud data mobility
Add hybrid cloud capability without major new investment while working together with on-premises software by replicating or migrating data from any of over 500 supported storage systems.
Deployment designed for the cloud
Select servers and block storage in IBM Cloud or deploy automatically in AWS or Microsoft Azure through their marketplaces. Use pre-tested blueprints to speed deployment.
Flexible monthly pricing
Pay for only the storage capacity you manage on the public cloud, with flexible software monthly pricing available.
Enterprise-class DR on public cloud
Use synchronous or asynchronous native IP-based replication to mirror data to AWS and IBM Cloud, with a multi node configuration for high availability and performance. No extra appliances needed.
