Charter
This charter sets out what the Storage Scale User Group is for, how it runs, and what members can expect. The group is free to join and open to anyone using, evaluating or integrating IBM Storage Scale (GPFS), across any industry, from media and academia to research, finance, automotive, defence and pharmaceuticals.
Our purpose
Connect the people who run Storage Scale, including Storage Scale with Storage Protect for ILM and HSM, in one community.
Represent our members' needs and raise them with IBM.
Help improve Storage Scale by working closely with IBM and with members.
Offer a friendly, local community for support and knowledge sharing.
Show what Storage Scale can do for data, AI and HPC at scale.
How the group runs
We run as a web community with events held through the year, usually hosted by our members or by IBM. The group is not officially endorsed by IBM, but we work closely with Storage Scale representatives and developers at IBM to bring speakers and expertise to our events. Most of our communication happens through the mailing list and this website; mailing list members get an occasional note to review their preferences.
Your role as a member

- Network with other members: answer questions, share ideas and welcome newcomers.
