SPECTRUM FUSION: CONTAINER-NATIVE DATA SERVICES - ALL GROWN UP

IBM's container-native storage solution for OpenShift is designed for enterprise customers who need global hybrid cloud data access. These storage services meet the strict requirements for mission critical data. IBM Spectrum® Fusion provides a streamlined way for organizations to discover, secure, protect and manage data from the edge, to the core data center, to the public cloud. The first release in 2H21 will be in the form of a container-native hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) system, and will be among the first container-native HCI in the industry.
