IBM Redbooks is pleased to make a major Redbook announcement, regarding the IBM Storage FlashSystem family and IBM Storage Virtualize. During the week ending July 19, 2024, we published the following seven Redbooks. I'd like to express my gratitude to all of the authors who, despite having day jobs, find the time to share their expertise and create these Redbooks that provide much-needed technical content.
I'd also like to thank all the contributors. Special thanks to Lucy Harris, Chris Bulmer, Evelyn Perez and Yves Santos (Development) for outlining content, answering questions, and reviewing deliverables, and to Diana Laura Silva Gallardo (SVT), Andrew Greenfield (Tech Sales), John Nycz (L3 support) and Byron Grossnickle (ATG) for providing test environments for the scenarios.
These books combine best practices from the field with insights from real customer experiences. Chapters are packed with practical learning aids, including "Recommendation" and "Tips" noteboxes, alongside dedicated "Best Practices" sections. Real-world scenarios are explored in the "Case studies" sections.
We hope that these IBM Redbooks will continue the Redbook tradition of being valuable assets to all of you, our existing and new storage customers, business partners, and technical sellers.
Please share this announcement with your colleagues and help us in spreading the word out. Comments or questions welcome. Thanks!
