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,

Post your ideas
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

UNIVERSAL ADVANCED Quantum Sensor Calibration and Drift Detection Project Acronym: UAQSCDD

PROBLEM: The quantum sensor calibration and drift detection gap is a transition gap: migration to quantum-safe cryptography is a multi-year programme, but the inventory of what must migrate, what has migrated, and what was verified lives in spreadsheets. A governed record is the missing infrastructure.

SOLUTION: Storage Copy Data Management would orchestrate quantum sensor calibration and drift detection as a repeatable workflow with explicit checks at each stage, requiring verification evidence before any component is recorded as quantum-safe. It designs the process and the record, not the physics.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — NIST published the first post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024 (FIPS 203, 204, 205); quantum key distribution has been demonstrated over satellite links (Micius, 2017); the 'harvest now, decrypt later' risk is documented in U.S. government guidance. Source: NIST PQC standards; Micius QKD.
