IBM Spectrum Accelerate vs. Metasploit

An IBM Spectrum Accelerate system requires sufficient physical connectivity with 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10 GigE) connections. Virtual networking switches must be associated with the physical network and the virtual network ports. In addition, it is highly recommended to provide multiple physical network device connections to each IBM Spectrum Accelerate module for network redundancy in case of network device failure.1.

In security of information it's vital to think like a hacker and it's important to know the tools they use for attacks. So this software gives you the exploits that are already in the wild and to the access of everyone. That's very dangerous so you have to be aware of it.

• Scanning our network for new or existing vulnerable systems.
• Automation of manual tests and exploits to allow what used to be days of effort to be squeezed into hours.
• Metasploit has become an integral part in our validation of new systems before their inclusion in our production network.

• Once it is successfully deployed, the XIV technology software-defined storage solution – namely IBM Spectrum Accelerate – is reasonably easy to operate, manage, monitor, and maintain.
• As a virtual appliance application, IBM Spectrum Accelerate must run on a VMware ESXi hypervisor. Consequently, the planning must necessarily encompass different ESXi environment aspects, including network, storage, virtual machine resources, and general cluster configuration.

• If Metasploit could support payloads written in languages other than Ruby, that would be amazing and could help draw in a larger set of contributors.

The most important feature is the robustness; it is always online, apart from allowing us to unify our file and database storage.

Incentivized

• Positive: Unify file and database Storage
• Positive: agility
• Negative: the implementation was not easy
• Negative: doesn't integrate as well with Veeam

Incentivized

• We have been able to weed out false positives with a more manual vetting of scanned vulnerabilities.
• Our teams have become more well versed in penetration testing with Metasploit to understand the vulnerabilities potentially present.
