The Swedish Spectrum User Group has over 300 members and meets twice a year at an event in which more than 150 members and Business Partners participate.
These conference sessions have gained global attention, including key development participation, and are targeted for Clients of IBM products, IBM business partners, and IBM sales team members. Not only do the sessions address customer challenges and help drive offering management decisions; they also expose the latest research results to discuss industry trends in detail, including interaction and networking between peers in Backup and Recovery Software and Storage Engineering disciplines.
The background of the success of the Swedish premier user group, which has grown from 5 users attending a meeting to 150 over a period of 10 years, is an agenda covering Business Resiliency including Clients presenting user cases, IBM Spectrum Storage and Cloud, summary of current capabilities, near term roadmap, future vision presented by IBM Systems Storage and Strategy and Development key speakers.
One of the Client deployments influenced by the Swedish User Group is the Software Defined Resiliency Hybrid Cloud Architecture at EVRY – one of the largest IT companies in the Nordics – where the Storage and Backup as a Service’s design is using IBM Spectrum Protect Blueprints in-line deduplication and replication, IBM Spectrum Protect VE, IBM Spectrum Protect Operation Center and IBM Spectrum Control to increase visibility, automation and control over the enterprise environment to reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) costs, with analytics driven data management and IBM Flash System 900 for super high performance.
