IBM Spectrum® Scale allows Hadoop applications to access centralized storage or local storage data. All Hadoop nodes can access the storage as a GPFS™ client. You can share a cluster between Hadoop and any other application.
IBM Spectrum Scale has the following supported storage modes that Hadoop can access:
- Centralized Storage Mode:
- IBM Elastic Storage® Server
- IBM® Erasure Code Edition
- Shared Storage (SAN-based storage)
