IBM System Storage Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM System Storage products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Upgrading DS8000 to Data Aware Contents Storage and suggesting new series either DS9000 or DS 10000,

Upgrading DS8000 to Data Aware Contents Storage and suggesting new series either DS9000 or DS 10000, 

We are in the Era of Agentic Generative AI, using LLMs and RAGs, Although IBM is the inventor of  IBM Fusion Content Aware Storage CAS , but we need the Upgrading of DS8000 to be a Fusion  CAS either by:

1-  redesigning the DS8000  to include Nvidia AI accelerators for real time Vectorized Datas for AI Agentic RAG. and give new brand DS 9000

2- or completely redesigning the hardware by upgrading the processors to  IBM Power 11 ( which include internal AI Accelerators and PCIe 5 bus slots with Spyre AI Accelerators.

this design will enable the Agentic AI RAGs for z17 and enable the Power 11 Systems ( E 1180, 1150) to access the suggested DS 9000 and DS 10000 in Full integrated On Premise Solutions to achieve Confidential computing, Sovreign Computing.

the above suggestion will accelerate the  AI driven Forensics , Parallel Investigation , and Preventing the crimes  by Real Time Data RAGs based on Vectorized Data instead slow SQL queries.

    The request was considered outside the scope of DS8K?s mission (block storage vs. file system).
    Rejected. Not aligned with DS8K design principles.
