SMI-Lab Program
The SMI-Lab program is an industry-wide collaborative program that helps companies accelerate the development and implementation of SMI-S based Client and Provider products from SNIA member companies. The program has been successful in providing an environment that manages and coordinates vendors' development efforts to deliver SMI-S compliant products to market. Since April, 2004, SMI-Lab has enabled numerous companies to pass the SMI-S CTP tests to get hundreds of products certified.
The SNIA's Storage Management Initiative (SMI) was created by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) to develop and standardize interoperable storage management technologies and aggressively promote them to the storage, networking and end user communities. The SMI is developing a highly functional and interoperable management interface for multi-vendor storage networking products and will drive the following activities within the SNIA organization:
- Technology Development via the Storage Management Specification (SMI-S)
- Testing of products utilizing the work being done in the Conformance Test Programs (CTP) area
- Outbound marketing, education and training managed by the SMI Marketing Subcommittee
