XAM Interface

What is the XAM-Interface?

The XAM-Interface is an application-level interface coordinating information metadata between applications and storage systems. This new interface (initially APIs) gives applications a standard interface and metadata to communicate with object storage devices such as those characterized as “Fixed Content Aware Storage” to achieve interoperability, storage transparency, and automation for ILM-based practices, long-term digital information retention, and information assurance (security).

If you would like to learn more, contact Co-Chairs Christina Casten or David Martin.
