Compute & Storage
In every organization, there is a strong relationship between performance and storage. To turn the challenge of data storage and analysis into a competitive advantage, organizations should implement an end-to-end storage management strategy.
In other words, your storage environment should enhance – not hinder – your business processes. The right compute and storage environment will deliver business intelligence and enhance business operations.
As a long-time Premier IBM Business Partner, Direct Systems Support (DSS) can offer large enterprises the scalable, innovative storage solutions they need to achieve their business goals.
IBM System Storage solutions are comprised of storage devices and software that help store, safeguard, and retrieve data:
Power Systems:
- AIX: The UNIX operating system (OS) for the IBM Power Systems POWER processor architecture. AIX delivers the high availability and adaptability that today’s global businesses need.
- iOS: An IBM-supported operating system that runs alongside AIX and Linux on IBM Power systems.
- Linux on Power: Also known as PowerLinux. An umbrella term for Linux-only POWER-based systems from IBM. These are high-performing operating systems that deliver exceptional value to infrastructure and IT environments.
Mainframe:
With the advent of blockchain, mainframe computing is cutting edge again. IBM z Systems are built for reliability, security, and innovation on blockchain.
The letter ‘z’ in the z Systems of IBM mainframes stands for zero downtime. To ensure continuous operations, IBM z Systems mainframes are built with hot failover capabilities. In addition, all z Systems mainframes maintain full backward compatibility. Any applications written for IBM mainframe systems can run unmodified on the latest z Systems.
