This SNIA initiative was formed in September, 2008. The SSSI mission is to foster the growth and success of the market for solid state storage in both enterprise and client environments. And our goals are to:
-
Be the recognized authority for storage made from solid state devices
-
-
Determine and document the characteristics of storage made from solid state devices
-
Determine and document the impact of storage made from solid state devices on system architectures
-
Collect solid state technical requirements of storage system vendors and communicate to SSD manufacturers for common features, behavior, and robustness
-
Collaborate with academia and the research labs of member companies to understand how advances in solid state memory will impact storage made from solid state memory
-
Educate the vendor and user communities about storage made from solid state devices
-
-
Coordinate education activities with the Education Committee
-
Perform benchmark testing to highlight the performance advantages of solid state storage
-
Create peer reviewed vendor neutral SNIA Tutorials
-
Create vendor-neutral demonstrations
-
Leverage SNW and other SNIA and partner conferences

Collaborate with industry analysts
-
Perform market outreach that highlights the virtues of storage made from solid state devices
-
Determine what technical work should be performed within SNIA TWGs to further the acceptance of storage made from solid state devices
-
-
Determine the standards that will be necessary to support the industry usage of SSDs
-
Perform interoperability plugfests as necessary in support of standards development
-
Work with the Storage Management Initiative (SMI) to understand how SMI-S can be used to manage storage made from solid state devices
