== Multi-site Storage Management ==
 
Add additional drives to expand capacity. Additional systems may be added to a given QuantaStor Storage Grid for easy management of all systems across IBM data centers. OSNEXUS recommends provisioning 36 bay servers as expansion disk-enclosures are not available as an add-on after the initial server provisioning.

IBM Cloud deployment of QuantaStor SAN/NAS mass storage servers provide file and block storage suitable for a broad spectrum of workloads. IBM Cloud customers have the option of provisioning Hybrid SAN/NAS configurations that utilize SSD to accelerate write performance or All-Flash SAN/NAS configurations that offer the ultimate high-performance characteristics. IBM's Bare Metal servers give you full control over your dedicated appliance, while QuantaStor’s web-based management interface, REST APIs and QS CLI make storage provisioning and automation easy.
