[gpfsug-discuss] GPFS UG #5 follow up

[Jez Tucker]

Hello everyone,

  Firstly, many thanks to those who attended on Wednesday.  I hope UG #5 proved helpful to all.
Please let me know your feedback, positive critique would be most useful.

Things for your bookmarks:

A quick nod to Martin Glassborow aka 'Storagebod' for representing the Media Broadcast sector.
Blog: http://www.storagebod.com<http://www.storagebod.com/wordpress/>

Colin Morey volunteered to advise the committee on behalf of the HPC sector.  Many thanks.

If any one feels that they could volunteer their ear to the committee now and again for their own sector that would be very helpful [Pharmaceuticals, Aerospace, Oil & Gas, Formula One, etc..)

The Git repository for the GPFS UG is here:
https://github.com/gpfsug/gpfsug-tools

If you want to commit something, drop me a quick email and I'll give you write access.
(Mine will be going up soon once I've ironed out a the last [I hope] 3-4 bugs..)

If there's any outstanding queries that you feel would be helpful to the group, ping a quick email to the mailing list.
I'll collate these and get a response from IBM for you.

I had a long chat with Boaz from ScaleIO on the way back home.
vSAN looks very, very, interesting. We're going to dip our toes in and use it to underpin our ESX cluster.  No brainer.

Lastly.  I'm afraid I'm now out of IBM Linux fleeces...

Cheers

Jez
