IBM Spectrum Scale

Hi I found a TR-4859 relating IBM Spectrum Scale with E-series.

I'm wondering if I can virtualize an ONTAP storage as well, my doubt is about random latency with E-series because customer would like to use the storage through Spectrum Scale to have NAS and S3 workloads.

My customer has an IBM infrasctructure and we must use such solution.

I did not find anything on IMT and IBM site about compatibility.

Many thanks Luca

We only support ONTAP Select on ESXi and KVM for hypervisors.

I'm asking something different ! My personal idea is that IBM Spectrum Scale has no a matrix of supported storage
