![]() Continuing my coverage of the [IBM System Storage Technical University 2011], I participated in the storage free-for-all, which is a long-time tradition, started at SHARE User Group conference, and carried forward to other IT conferences. The free-for-all is a Q&A Panel of experts to allow anyone to ask any question. These are sometimes called "Birds of a Feather" (BOF). Last year, we had two: one focused on Tivoli Storage software, and the second to cover storage hardware. This year, we had two, one for System x called "Ask the eXperts", and one for System Storage called "Storage Free-for-All". This post covers the latter. (Disclaimer: Do not shoot the messenger! We had a dozen or more experts on the panel, representing System Storage hardware, Tivoli Storage software, and Storage services. I took notes, trying to capture the essence of the questions, and the answers given by the various IBM experts. I have spelled out acronyms and provided links to relevant materials. The answers from individual IBMers may not reflect the official position of IBM management. Where appropriate, my own commentary will be in italics.) ![]()

Well, it's Tuesday, and you know what that means! IBM Announcements!
This week, IBM announces its latest versions of IBM [Tivoli Storage Productivity Center v4.2] and [Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication on System z v4.2]. I was the original lead architect for Productivity Center back in the version 1 and version 2 days, and am proud to see my little baby has grown up to be a fine young citizen. Analysts recognize IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center as one of the top three best SRM products currently in the marketplace. Here are the key highlights:
At last month's Storage University, I presented an overview of [Tivoli Storage Productivity Center v4.1]. Many of the questions were along the lines of "When will TPC do xyz?" and all I could answer was "Soon" since I knew they would be delivered with this TPC v4.2 release, but I couldn't provide any more details than that at the time.

![]() Continuing my coverage of the annual [2010 System Storage Technical University], I participated in the storage free-for-all, which is a long-time tradition, started at SHARE User Group conference, and carried forward to other IT conferences. The free-for-all is a Q&A Panel of experts to allow anyone to ask any question. These are sometimes called "Birds of a Feather" (BOF). Last year, they were called "Meet the Experts", one for mainframe storage, and the other for storage attached to distributed systems. This year, we had two: one focused on Tivoli Storage software, and the second to cover storage hardware. This post provides a recap of the Storage Hardware free-for-all. The emcee for the event was Scott Drummond. The other experts on the panel included Dan Thompson, Carlos Pratt, Jack Arnold, Jim Blue, Scott Schroder, Ed Baker, Mike Wood, Steve Branch, Randy Arseneau, Tony Abete, Jim Fisher, Scott Wein, Rob Wilson, Jason Auvenshine, Dave Canan, Al Watson, and myself, yours truly, Tony Pearson. ![]()
