The Storage Networking Industry Association. Your Connection is Here.
Welcome to the SNIA, advancing IT technologies, standards, and education programs for all IT professionals. Made up of some 400 member companies and nearly 7000 individuals spanning the global storage market, the SNIA connects the IT industry with end-to-end storage and information management solutions.
As a not-for-profit association, the SNIA enables our members to develop robust solutions for storing and managing the massive volumes of information generated by today’s businesses. For more than a decade we have worked to bring recognition of storage issues to the IT world, making storage less complicated for the end user. As a result, the SNIA has adopted the role of industry catalyst for the development of storage solution specifications and technologies, global standards, and storage education.
The value is real. listen to a few of our members.

SNIA is the leading industry organization devoted to storage and information technology and we are proud to be a part of this collaborative organization. We admire the SNIA community where storage and information management companies and IT users collaborate in a vendor-neutral setting to further enhance the storage industry.
