Long-time partners IBM and Brocade build tightly integrated solutions helping clients create agile, highly available, and very secure storage infrastructures to modernize their data center and their business, positioning their business for success into the future.

Most, if not all, IT administrators have first-hand experience in the growing complexity of managing enterprise infrastructure, including SANs. IBM and Brocade are in the unique position to spot and understand the effect of automation, which helps organizations get more from their SAN infrastructure.

Brocade Fibre Channel storage networking are tested and certified with IBM storage and server solutions including the IBM FlashSystem portfolio, Spectrum Virtualize, DS8900F Enterprise Arrays, TS7700 Virtual Tape Libraries, IBM POWER servers, and IBM Z mainframes.

The Brocade and IBM partnership builds Gen 7 solutions that allow clients to:

• Optimize high-density server virtualized environments with SCSI and NVMe over Fibre Channel.
• Enable next generation, high-transaction workloads with SCSI and NVMe over Fibre Channel.
• Build rock-solid on-premise infrastructure as part of an IBM hybrid cloud solution.
• Maximize the agility of current SAN infrastructure and arrays with IBM Spectrum Virtualize.
• Enjoy unmatched performance, scalability, and reliability with IBM FlashSystem storage.
• Support mainframe workloads demanding 99.999% availability
• Enhance Cyber Resiliency and Business Continuity solutions over long distances.
• Gain visibility and insight across your local and global storage infrastructure with IBM SANnav management tools.

Why IBM and Brocade?

Brocade Gen 7 not only provides the speed that business needs today, it also enables dramatic time and cost savings too. Thanks to its built-in telemetry and integrated security, it is able to optimize the network, resolve issues as fast as they happen, and protect your SAN against cybersecurity and business continuity challenges that threaten to disrupt data center operations. These are the critical capabilities that make the autonomous SAN a reality.

Accelerate recovery of critical data

If you lose your data, how expensive will it be for you to recover or replace it?

How prepared are you if your backups are ineffective? Ransomware attacks are up 2.5x over the past year - the average cost of ransom is $5.2M and average recovery time is 23 days. Cyber criminals are laying dormant over 180 days targeting backups first before encrypting mission critical production data. IBM Cyber Resilience with Safe Guarded copy and Cyber Vault will cut your recovery time extensively, from hours instead of days, or to minutes instead of hours. In the event of total disaster, you can resume operations in days instead of weeks.

Resilient storage benefits

Threat detection

Continuously monitor your primary and secondary storage systems.

Immutable snapshots

Enhance data resilience with immutable snapshots that can’t be altered or erased.

Enhanced security
Integrate your IBM data security and data protection systems.

Data protection

Perform backup and recovery with hardware snapshots and copy data management.

IBM Storage for Data Resilience Simply Explained

This 3 minute video will show how IBM can quickly recover your data in the event of a cyber attack with layers of discovery and recovery to meet your business requirements.

Detect, protect and recover

from internal and external threats

IBM FlashSystem Cyber Vault

IBM FlashSystem Cyber Vault

Storage has a fundamental role to play in both helping to detect attacks and helping to recover quickly.

IBM® Safeguarded Copy creates isolated immutable snapshots of data to help protect against cyberattacks, malware, acts of disgruntled employees, and other data corruption. And since Safeguarded Copy snapshots are on the same FlashSystem storage as operational data, recovery is designed to be faster than restoring from copies stored separately.

The IBM FlashSystem® Cyber Vault solution complements IBM Safeguarded Copy. FlashSystem Cyber Vault automatically scans the copies created regularly by Safeguarded Copy looking for signs of data corruption introduced by malware or ransomware. This scan serves two purposes. First, it rapidly helps identify a classic ransomware attack once it has started. Second, it is designed to help identify which data copies have not been affected by an attack. Armed with this information, customers are positioned to quickly identify an attack is underway and to rapidly identify and recover a clean copy of their data.

• Detect cyberattacks early to minimize damage

• Speed recovery from an attack

• Reduce recovery time from days or weeks to just hours

• Enable forensic analysis of attack

The IBM FlashSystem Cyber Vault solution also addresses key components of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
