2025 New Look and Feel for IBM Storage Groups

By Christopher Vollmar posted 20 days ago

  
The IBM TechXchange Community is designed to foster collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and engagement among IBM Storage professionals and users. To streamline our Storage discussions, we consolidated and renamed a few of our groups. 
 
Here’s a look at the changes we’ve made and how they enhance the community experience:

Merging & Sunset of the DS8000 Transparent Cloud Tiering Group

 
To consolidate discussions and provide a more unified experience for Mainframe Storage users, we merged the former DS8000 Transparent Cloud Tiering group into the Mainframe Storage group. As part of this transition:
 
  • All members and content from the DS8000 Transparent Cloud Tiering group were seamlessly migrated to the Mainframe Storage group.
  • A dedicated DS8000 folder has been created in the Mainframe Library, housing all previous DS8000 library entries.
  • DS8000 and TS7700 content is tagged for easy discoverability:

 
This change allows for a more focused and organized experience for users who rely on Mainframe Storage solutions, making it easier to find relevant discussions, resources, and experts in one place.

Aligning Group Names with IBM Products

 
To improve consistency across the community, we have updated several group names to better reflect IBM's current product offerings. These changes ensure that users can quickly identify the right group for their needs:
 
  • Data Protection Software → IBM Storage Defender
  • Primary Storage → IBM FlashSystem
  • Storage Fusion → IBM Fusion
  • Tape Storage → Tape Library

These updates align with IBM’s latest branding and product positioning, making it easier for customers and partners to find the most relevant information.

Introducing Three New Storage Groups

 
New for 2025 we’re introducing 3 new IBM Storage groups to cover key storage solutions:
 
  • IBM Storage Ceph – A community-driven space for discussions around IBM Storage Ceph, an essential component of modern cloud and software-defined storage strategies.
  • Storage Area Network (SAN) – A dedicated space to discuss SAN architectures, best practices, and new capabilities.
  • IBM Storage Protect for Cloud – Focused on cloud-based storage protection solutions, offering insights into backup, disaster recovery, and security in cloud environments.

These new groups provide focused areas for professionals looking to explore, learn, and collaborate on these specific IBM Storage solutions.

Join the Conversation!

 
We invite all IBM TechXchange Community members to explore these updated and newly created groups, engage in discussions, and share their expertise.
