IBM Storage Scale Days 2024
IBM is organizing a IBM Storage Scale New User Day on March 5 in Sindelfingen, Germany. We have an exciting agenda covering an introduction in Storage Scale and key use cases for new users. The IBM Storage Scale Days will take place following the New User event over the next two days. The comprehensive program offers current key topics such as user stories, roadmap update, the latest insights into data fabrics, data orchestration and data management architectures, plus access to IBM experts and your peers. We look forward to welcoming you to these events!
The IBM Storage Scale New User Day and the IBM Storage Scale Days 2023 are both face-to-face only and free of charge. The events will be held mostly in German. There will be some sessions in English.
