Upcoming Events

This 2025 OCP Global Summit will bring together industry leaders, innovators, and visionaries to share the latest advancements, forge new partnerships, and define the community developed standardizations that will power the AI-driven future. By embracing openness and inclusivity, OCP is not only meeting the needs of today’s AI transformation but also laying the foundation for a resilient and digital infrastructure.

SNIA members are encouraged to attend the 2024 Annual Members Meeting on October 23, 2025, 8:00 – 9:00 am PT.

Join SNIA leadership for an update on the organization’s strategy, vision, technical & Community work, and financial health. This is an excellent opportunity to learn the latest on SNIA activities and provide your feedback to the SNIA Board of Directors.

Voting Member Company Representatives are specifically requested to dial–in or arrange for a proxy company representative (quorum required).

This webinar will explain the process of model inferencing and deployment options. We will discuss how trained models are used to make predictions and the considerations for deploying models. Attendees will understand the challenges and strategies for optimizing model performance, covering:

• What is model inferencing  
• Model inferencing process 
• How inferencing deployment differs in Gen AI and visual inspection
        - Inferencing deployment software options 
         - Inferencing hardware considerations (e.g., on the edge, on-prem, etc.)
• Deploying AI models for production best practices and lessons learned 
• Strategies for maintaining model performance post-deployment  
• Real-world examples of successful model deployments  
• The importance of monitoring and maintaining deployed models

Storage security changes and adaptations are a fact of life to deal with the ever-changing threat and regulatory landscapes. A black swan event, new standard, or regulation often serve as catalysts for organizations to review their controls and practices. The recent publication of the NIST Special Publication 800-88 Rev. 2 Guidelines for Media Sanitization is drawing attention to storage security, but it is not the only development worth noting. SNIA, the Open Compute Project (OCP), Trusted Computing Group (TCG), and IEEE have or are developing standards and specifications that could be important going forward. One major theme underlying several of the activities is in storage sanitization (i.e., controlled eradication of data). 

This session brings together a unique panel of experts who have served as editors of some of the most important storage sanitization standards. These experts also have broad knowledge of storage security. As a panel, they will provide insight into these new developments as well as observations on what organizations are experiencing. A moderator will be engaging the panel with thought provoking questions, but participants are encouraged to bring their own questions. 

Join us to:

• Understand changes to storage sanitization and what that means to organizations
• The primary drivers for storage security
• Difference between Storage Sanitization and Data Sanitization
• Understanding the interplay and interdependencies for storage security standards/specifications
