IBM Spectrum Control: Storage like you’ve never seen it before!

Body

IBM Spectrum Control™, a member of the IBM Spectrum Storage™ family, enables comprehensive monitoring of the entire data path—including storage systems, software-defined storage, devices and SAN fabric components from multiple vendors—providing a more complete view of the storage infrastructure. Views of applications, departments or other collections are easy to create, so data owners can see customized views of their domains.

IBM Spectrum Control provides a single point of control that administrators manage every aspect of the storage infrastructure—between the hosts, through the fabric, and down to the physical disks—across multi-site storage environments. IBM Spectrum Control helps consolidate management of file, object, SAN, server-based and software-defined storage.
