Unlocking Innovation with IBM Storage Fusion HCI
IBM Storage Fusion HCI has been a significant change for many organizations, providing a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) to deploy bare metal OpenShift along with a unified storage solution. With the latest updates and new features introduced by IBM, the potential for innovation and growth is vastly expanded. In this blog post, we will explore the exciting new features and use cases of IBM Storage Fusion HCI, and how they can help organizations unlock their full potential.
Notable New Features & Use Cases
Some of the notable enhancements to our Storage Fusion Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) are:
Multi-cluster IBM Storage Fusion HCI System:
With the ability to host multiple OpenShift clusters on a single rack with OpenShift Hosted Control Plane, nodes in the rack can now virtualize and can be used to deploy multiple OpenShift clusters, allowing you to create clusters tailored to your specific workload needs. This feature enables more efficient use of resources, better scalability, and improved resilience.
Regional DR (Technical Preview):
Allows organizations to asynchronously mirror application data and ETC metadata between IBM Storage Fusion HCI System clusters located in different geographic regions. This innovative solution protects stateful applications from regional outage impact and ensures business continuity by providing a backup of critical data in another region.
Users can now select Data Foundation as storage provider, which gives consistent storage classes regardless of whether OpenShift runs in the public cloud or on-premises. Data Foundation includes block, file, and object storage, enabling organizations to manage their storage requirements more effectively. With this feature, organizations can better optimize their storage infrastructure and improve the performance of their applications.
