IBM Spectrum Computing Primary Use Case

Infrastructure Technical Specialist II at Clicks Group

The typical use case for IBM Spectrum Computing is that it's an all-rounder. It can be used in various scenarios, such as the retailer I work for that has batch processing. It's on-demand when performance is needed immediately.

The solution has been designed with that in mind, not specifically for capacity but for performance. The configuration we have today is performance-focused, and many features have been added to the configuration to achieve that. Additionally, it can run file servers, backups, database transactional online processing, Kubernetes, VMware, Oracle, and even mainframe.

It is big on resilience and security. Their focus is on providing robust and secure solutions. Due to their high-end server models, IBM products are often more expensive than competitors. While IBM is not exactly a niche market player, it doesn't dominate the server market. IBM's share is relatively small, around 15 percent, compared to other server vendors.
