Upcoming Events

The Cloud Object Storage Plugfest is a unique, one-of-a-kind open forum opportunity for industry innovators to collaborate and enhance interoperability among private and public cloud object storage solutions. Join this multi-vendor community to address cloud object storage incompatibilities.

SNIA’s Storage Management Initiative (SMI) will host a SNIA Swordfish® Plugfest the week of April 28-May 2, 2025 in conjunction with SNIA’s Regional SDC Denver event. 

The collaborative event targeted at client users will include hands-on access to Redfish and Swordfish systems in the SNIA Innovations Lab. Attendees will be able to participate in interactive sessions for consuming the Swordfish API.

SNIA is excited to bring a special edition of our developer conference to Denver. Created by developers for developers, SDC is a premier educational conference dedicated to providing vendor-neutral information on advancements in data technology. Whether you're a software engineer, product manager, or CTO, SDC caters to professionals across all disciplines.

SNIA's Cloud Object Storage community organized and hosted the industry first open multi-vendor compatibility testing (Plugfest) at SDC’24, in Santa Clara, CA. Most of the participants focused on their S3 server and client implementations. Community driven testing revealed significant areas to collaborate, including ambiguities among protocol options, access control mechanisms, missing or incorrect response headers, unsupported API calls and unexpected behavior (as well as sharing best practices and fixes). The success of this event led to community demand for more SNIA Cloud Object Storage Plugfests.

In this webinar, SNIA Cloud Object Storage Plugfest participants will discuss real-world issues hampering interoperability among various S3 implementations, from both server and client perspectives.

Explore cutting-edge innovations in solid-state drive (SSD) power efficiency and liquid cooling, designed to mitigate AI workload bottlenecks and reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in data centers. By focusing on optimizing SSD performance per watt, we can significantly enhance data center sustainability, operational efficiency, and economic viability.

Key topics include:

• NVMe® Power Tuning Techniques: Maximizing performance per watt through advanced power management strategies.
• SSD Controller Architecture Breakthroughs: Leveraging hardware offloads and computational storage innovations to improve energy efficiency.
• Liquid-Cooled SSD Technologies: Pioneering advancements in liquid cooling that enable significant reductions in power consumption and facilitate the transition to fan-less server designs.

By examining the latest trends in immersion and liquid cooling technologies, this presentation will demonstrate their critical role in driving data center performance, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness forward. Join us to discover how these advancements can help overcome challenges in high-density AI environments.

The objective of this meeting is to foster collaboration and innovation by bringing together leading academics, industry professionals, and startups in the fields of DNA data storage and compute. The conference will serve as a platform to exchange ideas, discuss recent advancements, and explore potential synergies across research and commercial applications, driving the development of next-generation data storage and computational solutions.
