Announcement and Call for Papers: ******************************** TSM Symposium at Oxford University : 20 and 21 September 2001 'Tivoli Storage Manager : Managing the Impossible' CALL FOR PAPERS CALL FOR PAPERS CALL FOR PAPERS http://tsm-symposium.oucs.ox.ac.uk/home.html Tivoli Storage Manager ... Facing new challenges Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM), currently at Version 4, is in many ways almost unrecognisable as being the same product which was first released as ADSM Version 1 in (about) 1994. In 1999 the product ownership transferred from IBM SSD to Tivoli and since then there have been some significant changes made with the addition of major new features. TSM plays a significant role in our organisations and managing the whole service can be a complex business. For the newcomer it can be difficult to know where to start with TSM; for those who have been working with TSM for years it can be (more than) a challenge just to keep up. Focus of the TSM 2001 Symposium ... The TSM 2001 Symposium is an event which is to be wholly dedicated to TSM . It will provide delegates with an opportunity to gain additional technical insight into TSM with presentations from Tivoli Development and Marketing as well as from experienced users. The focus of the symposium will be on TSM System Management : in gaining a much better understanding of the product and the many ways in which it can be used. The seemingly impossible could become distinctly possible. Come along and meet some of your TSM colleagues you have met on ADSM-L. There are opportunities to participate : please check http://tsm-symposium.oucs.ox.ac.uk/callfor.html for details. Registration will open at the beginning of May 2001. Organisation of the TSM Symposium ...
