You deploy an instance of Sycomp Storage using Terraform modules provided by Sycomp through Google marketplace. When deploying a cluster, you choose:
Whether to use Scale clients deployed by Sycomp Storage or access the data from your existing application VMs.
The amount and type of storage.
The machine types for Sycomp Storage severs and application clients.
The Sycomp Storage license includes the use of the IBM Storage Scale and Red Hat software with how-to and break-fix support. You choose the machine and storage types when Sycomp Storage is deployed so the cost for VMs, storage and other Google Cloud resources are not included in the Sycomp Storage cost.
