Description
This project aims to update the existing IBM Redbook, "IBM Storage Virtualize and VMware: Integrations, Implementation and Best Practices", to incorporate the new features and capabilities introduced since the release of Storage Virtualize version 8.7.
Note that a significant focus of this edition is the transition from external management tools like IBM Spectrum Connect to more integrated, "embedded" solutions like the Embedded VASA Provider and the IBM Storage Plug-in for vSphere. The book will emphasize "stack-aware" knowledge, bridging the gap between virtualization layers and physical storage

Benefits to Resident
Residents will be in contact with key architecture, development and support personnel for IBM FlashSystem during the residency.
IBM Redbooks want technical practitioners to be recognized for their newly gained knowledge, experience, and accomplishments. Therefore, upon successful delivery of the publication produced by this IBM Redbooks residency, you will become eligible to earn an IBM Redbooks Digital Badge issued through Pearson VUE Acclaim.
Resident Prerequistes
A basic requirement for all residents is the ability to read and clearly express concepts and procedures in common English.
All participants must be able to read and write technical procedures clearly in English. You aren't expected to meet every single criteria listed; however, at a minimum, you should have a firm grasp of FlashSystem and VMware integration concepts. Practical, hands-on experience is highly preferred. Prior experience with Redbooks residencies is a plus, but we always welcome enthusiastic new authors who are eager to contribute!
