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.

PCET Quantum-Tunneling Gradient Multilayers for Environmental Monitoring and Compliance Data

PROBLEM: Monitoring stacks with a graded profile can report a composite signal that blends capture, transport, and release zones, yet a compliance archive often stores only the composite number. When a gradient recipe changes, earlier readings become hard to compare, and cold-weather tunneling effects in one zone can be mistaken for a change in the environment. Auditors need preserved copies of each gradient version behind the data.

SOLUTION: Storage Copy Data Management would retain versioned copies of PCET gradient monitoring stacks, preserving each gradient recipe and its associated readings as a governed copy. A recipe change would start a new copy series rather than overwriting prior compliance data, so zone-level changes can be traced. It preserves monitoring history, not the environment itself.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — PCET couples proton and electron transfer, with tunneling at low temperature; gradient multilayers grade composition and porosity through the stack; DFT and batch isotherms (Langmuir, Freundlich) underpin biosorption validation.
