The IBM TechXchange Storage Ceph Global User Group is open to all who are using, interested or integrating IBM Storage Ceph. We have groups across the world, from the UK to the USA and Asia Pacific. We welcome IBM Storage Ceph users from a wide range of industries and are not sector-specific. Our current membership base includes representation from media, academia, research, automotive, defense and retail industries. This group is run by the community members with support from IBM, and periodically includes ecosystem partner speakers. IBM Storage Ceph is part of IBM's portfolio of file and object based solutions and many times is linked with discussions from other parts of the portfolio.
