IBM Spectrum Scale on AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides an easy way to create and manage a collection of related AWS resources, provisioning and updating them in an orderly and predictable fashion.

IBM Spectrum Scale™ is a high-performance, highly available, clustered file system and associated management software, available on a variety of platforms. IBM Spectrum Scale can scale in several dimensions, including performance (bandwidth and IOPS), capacity, and number of nodes or instances that can mount the file system.

For information on how to deploy a highly available IBM Spectrum Scale cluster on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud into a configuration of your choice, see IBM Spectrum Scale on AWS.

Note: IBM Spectrum Scale is not itself an application, but instead provides the storage infrastructure for the applications.
