10th GSE TSMSymposium 2011
Tivoli Storage Manager : Benefit from Innovation
Hilton Dresden Hotel, 27-30 September 2011

Background:

Following the ADSM-Workshops (starting 1994 at Karlsruhe University),
the well-received ADSM/TSM-Symposia (since 1999) at Oxford University
and the last TSM-Symposium at the Grandhotel Petersberg in September
2009, this year University of Cologne together with Guide Share Europe
is hosting the tenth TSM Symposium from September 27th through September
30th. The Symposium will be held in the Hilton Dresden Hotel near the
Frauenkirche in the Oldtown of Dresden.

This is your chance to join us in benefitting from the innovations, the
new and changed functionality in the recent and upcoming versions and to
hear what is expected to be implemented in TSM over the next couple of
years.

Come along and keep up with the very latest features and plans of the
TSM-team within IBM, gain hints and tips on upgrading your archive and
backup services, learn how to exploit the forthcoming new functionality,
and acquire additional technical insight into TSM. Take full advantage
of the presentations from IBM Development, as well as contributions from
other experienced and established TSM users. Best of all, meet and get
to know peer professionals in an open, informal atmosphere.

How to make a contribution:

We are seeking technical contributions in the form of papers and
presentations from the TSM user community - the system managers and
administrators who are arguably the real TSM experts - and this is an
excellent chance to share your knowledge and wisdom.

Possible topics / Ideas for a contribution

    * Experiences with Migration to TSM6.x
    * Protection of virtualized environments
    * Data Protection products for applications (databases, mail, SAP)
    * Exploitation of snapshots (TSM for (Advanced) Copy Services)
    * NDMP Backup and Restore Scenarios
    * FastBack and TSM-FastBack integration
    * Dealing with Growth: HSM, Deduplication, ...
    * New Tape and Library Technologies
    * Data Security - Data shredding / Encryption

Technical contributions from TSM solution architects and related storage
vendors are also sought: this is an opportunity to demonstrate the
flexibility and extensibility of TSM.

The conference language will be English. All talks will have to be held
in English language.

Information for Exhibitors and Sponsors:

We also offer excellent opportunities for exhibiting at the Symposium.
Your company may support the symposium by becoming an exhibitor or
sponsor. This will be a fine opportunity to show your company's
supportive engagement in TSM at many places during the conference and on
the conference materials (bags, badges and such).
