What IBM Cloud Object Storage Software Does
Cloud Object Storage software provides a

• Secure,
• Reliable,
• Scalable,
• Cost Effective
Platform For Object Storage
Cloud Object Storage software is not designed for

• High IOPS workflows
• Transaction Processing
• Inherent ILM
Cloud Object Storage has the strengths and differentiators clients require
Scalability – Scale performance and/or capacity at any time with no downtime to

operations
Security - Encryption for data at rest provides government grade security, no single
disk, node or site contains enough information to constitute a data breach with built in
key management.
Availability – No downtime during software upgrades, hardware refreshes, and in the
face of disk, node, and site failures.
Manageability– No RAID sets or replication schemes to manage. Manage more

petabytes with less people.
Efficiency – Less raw storage means less power, cooling and floors pace resulting in
lowest TCO
