IBM Elastic Storage Server scales in a building block approach—capacity, bandwidth and the single namespace increases as more building blocks are added to scale out the entire solution. If the solution is sold as standalone, the POWER8 processor-based IBM Elastic Storage Server management server will act as the quorum node.

IBM Elastic Storage Server hardware installation is included at no charge.
