    Abstract

    IBM® Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud supports clients in their IT architectural transformation and migration toward the cloud service model. It facilitates hybrid cloud strategy as well as cloud-native strategy and provides the benefits of having advanced storage features, functions and capabilities typically only found on on-premises data centers. IBM Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud enhances the capabilities of traditional cloud storage offerings.

    IBM Storage Virtualize software, as part of an IBM Storage FlashSystem or IBM SAN Volume Controller product running on-premises, can virtualize over 500 different storage systems from IBM and other vendors. This wide range of storage support means that the storage solution can be used with almost any storage in a data center today and can integrate with its counterpart IBM Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud, which supports several public cloud environments including Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure to help facilitate an advanced hybrid cloud environment.

    This IBM Redpaper publication helps storage and networking administrators plan, install, implement, install, modify, and configure IBM Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud on AWS and Azure public clouds. It also provides a detailed description of troubleshooting tips.
