Cognitivesolutions

Cognitive solutions ingestdata of all forms, structuredand unstructured, understandthat data, learn from it, andreason through it

Storage architecture needs to managehyper growth and evolving workloadsto help unlock data value

• Any app, any source, any business

• Flexible, massive scale withoutroadblocks

• Enabling innovation, discovery,new experiences

In other words, cognitive-aware

Traditional approaches just don’tmeasure up

Today, data is your businessHow you manage and storedata is critical

On-Prem• Compliance and control

• Leverage existing assets

Cloud• Elasticity• Unlimited scale• Global reach• As-a-service pricing for

dynamic workloads

Flexibility in developingapps and leveraging content

Consistent, uniform and openprogramming interfaces

Ready for cognitive analytics

New needs demand a new storage architecture

IBM Cloud Object StorageIndustry leading flexibility, scalability and simplicity

On-Premise

• Single tenant

• Design specific to client needs

• Total control of system

• On-premise compute and dataco-located

Dedicated

• Single tenant (compliant)

• No datacenter space required

• Flexible configuration options

• OPEX vs CAPEX

Public

• Multi-tenant

• Usage-based pricing

• Elastic capacity

• No datacenter spacerequired

• Fully managed

• In-cloud computeand data co-located

• OPEX vs CAPEX

Hybrid

Consistent, uniform, and open technology across on-prem,dedicated and public cloud makes it simpler and more efficient tomanage data, workloads, and business processes

Always-onAvailability

• Tolerates even a catastrophic regional outage without down time or interruption in service• Continuous availability architecture• Client has the choice of Regional or Cross Regional deployment

Built-inSecurity

• Protects against digital and physical breeches• Provides strong data-at-rest confidentiality by combining encryption and information dispersal.

Better CloudStorage Economics

• More cost-efficient than legacy cloud providers• Lower overall bandwidth and per transaction costs• Enterprise class support included at no additional cost.

Simplicity

• Immediate consistency (v. eventual consistency) makes application development simpler• Integrated with other cloud services in the IBM Cloud, IBM Bluemix, IBM Watson, IBM Video Services• More flexible, open interfaces: Supporting both S3 and OpenStack Swift• No “black boxes”: Full transparency of how the technology delivers durability, availability, and security

IBM Cloud Object StorageRedefines availability, security and economics of data storage

Our SecureSlice and information dispersal technologyredefine security and availability of stored data

Encrypts data

Transforms,expands, slicesdata

Decrypts data

Decodes data

Our technology ensures:

• Data is available, even in the face of a regional outage• Data is protected with no external key management

required, even in the face of regional security breach

Dispersesslices of dataacross regions

Retrievesdata with asubset of theslices

IBM Cloud Object Storage: public cloud servicesTwo consumption models, flexible storage and retrieval options

Standard:For active data, accessed multiple times a monthUse cases: Cognitive, Analytics, Mobile, Web App, Collaboration and DevOps

Vault:For less active data, accessed once a month or lessUse cases: Back-up, digital asset retention, and Business Continuity

Cold Vault:For long term data retention

Use cases: Archiving, Long term backup, Regulatory Compliance

Services are idealfor predictabledata access patterns

Services are idealfor unpredictabledata access patterns

Flex:For dynamic data, access frequency varies monthly or for mixed ’hot’ and ’cold’workloads

Use cases: Native-cloud workloads where data is cold today and hot tomorrow
