Welcome to the IBM Storage community!
I’m Peter Basmajian, your IBM Storage community manager. I'm excited to work with you to build this community. We want this to become the main way for you to connect with other IBM Storage users, share best practices, access technical information including webinars, forums and blogs, and ask for advice. First, let me share our IBM Community objective:
“We are not here to talk at you, our customers. We are here to help you talk to each other, and to us.”
I share this because I want you to know we are serious about fostering authentic community. It is a community for community. You have our commitment this is a safe space to connect with other users, and share your knowledge and ideas.
