    Abstract

    This IBM® Redpaper™ publication provides information to help you with the sizing, configuration, and monitoring of hybrid cloud solutions using the Cloud data sharing feature of IBM Spectrum Scale™. IBM Spectrum Scale, formerly IBM General Parallel File System (IBM GPFS™), is a scalable data and file management solution that provides a global namespace for large data sets along with several enterprise features. Cloud data sharing allows for the sharing and use of data between various cloud object storage types and IBM Spectrum Scale.

    Cloud data sharing can help with the movement of data in both directions, between file systems and cloud object storage, so that data is where it needs to be, when it needs to be there.

    This paper is intended for IT architects, IT administrators, storage administrators, and those who want to learn more about sizing, configuration, and monitoring of hybrid cloud solutions using IBM Spectrum Scale and Cloud data sharing.
