Edison: IBM Spectrum Scale vs EMC Isilon White Paper

The IBM Spectrum Scale solution provided for up to 11x better throughput results than EMC Isilon for Spectrum Protect (TSM) workloads. Using published data, Edison compared a solution comprised of EMC® Isilon® against an IBM® Spectrum Scale™ solution. (IBM Spectrum Scale was formerly IBM® General Parallel File System™ or IBM® GPFS™, also known as code name Elastic Storage). For both solutions, IBM® Spectrum Protect™ (formerly IBM Tivoli® Storage Manager or IBM® TSM®) is used as a common workload performing the backups to target storage systems evaluated.
