Revision of Standards Portfolio from Tue, 12/24/2024 - 11:20 | SNIA

Standards Portfolio

SNIA's technical activities are overseen by its Technical Council (TC), which is composed of industry experts who provide strategic direction and steer SNIA's technical efforts. SNIA has published over 135 vendor-neutral standards, many of which have been ratified as international standards.

SNIA's technical activities are driven by its Technical Council
and Technical Work Groups. The Technical Council, composed
of expert technologists from the leading innovation companies in
the industry, provides guidance and direction on the varied
technical activities of the SNIA. From their presentations at
events throughout the world and their collective guidance and
governance, the "TC" keeps the development efforts of the SNIA
on track and on target.

Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI™)

The Cloud Data Management Interface defines the functional interface that applications will use to create, retrieve, update and delete data elements from the Cloud. As part of this interface the client will be able to discover the capabilities of the cloud storage offering and use this interface to manage containers and the data that is placed in them. In addition, metadata can be set on containers and their contained data elements through this interface.

This interface is also used by administrative and management applications to manage containers, accounts, security access and monitoring/billing information, even for storage that is accessible by other protocols. The capabilities of the underlying storage and data services are exposed so that clients can understand the offering.

Computational Storage API

The Computational Storage API defines the interface between an application and a Computational Storage device (CSx). For each CSx there will need to be a library that performs the mapping from the APIs in this specification and the CSx on the specific interface for that CSx.

Computational Storage Architecture and Programming Model

The Computational Storage Architecture and Programming Model defines recommended behavior for hardware and software that supports Computational Storage.

DNA Data Storage Sector One

The DNA Data Storage Sector One specification defines the recommended method and embodiment for storing archive metadata within a DNA data storage archive for the purpose of enabling an archive reader to read the archive and then consume the logical structure and its data contents.

DNA Data Storage Sector Zero

The DNA Data Storage Sector Zero specification defines the recommended method and embodiment for storing basic vendor and CODEC information (sector zero contents) within a DNA data storage archive for the purpose of enabling an archive reader to then consume archive metadata (sector one) and data contents.
