๐Upcoming ATG Webinar Sessions:
๐ Accelerate with ATG: IBM Storage Scale 101 - The Basics & Architecture โ 6/12/25 at 12:00 PM ET
High Performance Computing (abbreviated as AI) requires high-performance storage, and Storage Scale is IBM's flagship storage for the unstructured data that AI requires. But Storage Scale is more - it brings all the capabilities of a Global Data Platform to both AI and the enterprise. Join the Advanced Technology Group for this session, introducing you to IBM Storage Scale, the concept of a Global Data Platform, and surveying the capabilities and features of Storage Scale that make it so unique and powerful. Register today!
๐ Accelerate with ATG: Tape Considerations with IBM Z Cyber Vault โ 6/17/25 at 12:00 PM ET
Join us for an upcoming ATG Accelerate webinar where we will start with a quick review of essential tape concepts and Z operations, then dive into the best practices for leveraging tape in Z Cyber Vault use cases. We will then explore how incorporating Safeguarded Copy (SGC) into your Cyber Vault strategy can enable IPLing a Sysplex to an earlier point in time - an approach that may require access to historical tape volumes for forensic analysis or recovery. Since the tape management environment in a Cyber Vault is often skewed with the current production and grid views, this session will break down the challenges and guide you through safe and effective strategies to manage this complexity. Register today!
