Google Cloud and Sycomp are introducing Sycomp Storage Fueled by IBM Storage Scale. This launch is highly useful for customers looking to run HPC, AI/ML, and big data workloads on a proven file system, in a fully-persistent deployment, and with Google’s Cloud Storage integration for cost optimization.

Sycomp Storage Fueled by IBM Storage Scale optimizes performance for the cloud, deploys in minutes, supports auto-tiering to reduce costs, and allows customers to concurrently access data from thousands of VMs, with data access via NFS and the native Spectrum Scale client. The solution is available in the Google Cloud Marketplace, as a VM-based offering that deploys within a customer’s project, and is supported and maintained by Sycomp.
