This Redpaper describes a high performance file and block access solution using IBM® Storage Virtualize and IBM Storage Scale to provide file access interfaces suited for diverse workloads— traditional, cloud-era, and emerging (example: SAP, web applications, genome analysis). It offers a step- by-step guide for implementation engineers to integrate IBM FlashSystem® and legacy IBM Storwize® for block storage, paired with IBM Storage Scale for Network File System (NFS) file access. This solution is tailored for small and medium businesses with small storage capacities and targeted for IBM FlashSystem customers who primarily need block storage with file access. We plan to promote this solution primarily through IBM business partners, providing customers with an integrated end-to-end solution. It is not intended for NAS, Citrix, or home directory use cases.
