Welcome to the IBM Storage community! I'm Stuart Litel, the site leader for the IBM Storage.
 
I'm excited to work with you to build this community and elevate it to the next level of insight and valuable discussion. We want this to become the main way for you to connect with other IBM Storage users; share best practices; access technical information like webinars, forums and blogs; and ask for advice. First, let me share our IBM TechXchange 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 an authentic community. You have our commitment that this is a safe space to connect with other users and share your knowledge and ideas.
