Hi all,

there was a couple of very good concerns, questions and statements already. I’d 
like to summarize my very personal understanding – not necessarily officially 
speaking for my employer IBM.
Be invited to reach out to IBM Client Engineering (a presales invest by IBM) if 
you have a need to discuss, demo or evaluate in connection to an active 
Opportunity ( i know, but that’s the rules of engagement )


  *   Swift S3 is complex to maintain, as said by Christoph Martin. IBM 
supports multiple stacks for multiple products. That along with currency the 
main reason to move away



  *   For alternatives a focus on ‘unified access via file and s3’ was set, so 
the feature set required is something (for you as a customer) to evaluate.


  *   You can find references on our future architecture publicly available, 
its based on the same noobaa stack that is used in RedHat ODF MCG.
I would like to recommend the following blog of my IBM CE peer Nils Haustein:

https://community.ibm.com/community/user/storage/blogs/nils-haustein1/2024/02/26/s3-tiering-to-tape-with-noobaa-part-3-tiering



  *   Some might consider release timing, .. But here is the plan, thanks for 
already outlining, Renar!
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/storage-scale/5.1.9?topic=summary-changes

     *   IBM Storage Scale 5.1.8 is the last release that has CES Swift Object 
protocol.
     *   IBM Storage Scale 5.1.9 [EUS release] will tolerate the update of a 
CES node from IBM Storage Scale 5.1.8 - so if you have it, you can keep it
     *   I’m expecting TechPreview and GA within the next two releases – 
technical details as per above blog.

I hope this helps to clarify IBM’s plan of record. I’d like to reinvite you to 
reach out to IBM (via IBM Sales / directly) if you’d like to follow-up.


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards
