As power densities continue to rise in servers, thermal management is becoming a critical challenge. Traditional air cooling is increasingly strained in high-density environments, driving interest in more efficient approaches. These more efficient approaches touch all aspects of the server including the SSD. 

In this webinar, Anthony Constantine and Scott Shadley examine the role of liquid cooling in modern SSD deployments. The session will cover key liquid cooling methods, their advantages in heat transfer and performance, and the emerging specification changes shaping the industry.

Join us to better understand how liquid cooling is shaping the future of SSDs and what it means for your storage infrastructure.

AI systems are only as powerful as the data foundations that support them. As applications increasingly rely on vectors, tables, graphs, and long-lived datasets, object storage must evolve to do more than simply hold data—it must actively support how AI applications coherently access, move, and reuse it over time.

In this webinar we will examine the architectural patterns shaping modern AI-ready object storage. We will explore how object storage is designed to support emerging AI data types alongside traditional unstructured data, while remaining scalable, durable, and cost efficient at cloud scale. Central to this evolution is tighter integration between data lifecycle management and application workflows, enabling data to flow seamlessly from ingestion and training to inference, governance, and long-term retention.

Attendees will gain practical approaches to building AI-ready storage systems that deliver scale, efficient access, and long-term data reuse.

As the digital world scales at an unprecedented pace, advanced memory and storage architectures are driving the next epoch of AI, hyperscale data centers, and enterprise engineering. FMS: Future of Memory and Storage is the definitive global stage where these breakthrough technologies come to life.

Whether you are looking for deep technical deep-dives or high-impact business networking, FMS 2026 is where the future of computing infrastructure is built. Join thousands of industry peers, architects, and visionaries this August in Santa Clara to explore the next generation of technology.

Getting started with an agentic harness to troubleshoot your infrastructure is much simpler than you think. You don't need "Skills," and you don't need "MCP servers exposing everything as a tool." You can just start with any agentic runtime and add capabilities as they are needed. You also don't need to automate everything; in fact, “how to bring down your infrastructure with fully autonomous agents” is the opposite of what this talk is about. We want to show you how to leverage AI to decrease MTTR (mean time to resolution) and how to proactively monitor your infrastructure. That said, fully autonomous operations will be treated as a special case, and we will explain how you can begin identifying those use cases.

Traditional storage TCO models focus on hardware, capacity, and power costs. For today's AI, analytics, and data-intensive workloads, performance can have just as much impact on overall cost.

Join us as we introduce a new performance-based approach to storage TCO. Learn how factors such as workload completion time, CPU utilization, energy consumption, and effective capacity influence the true cost of storage. The session will include a demonstration of SNIA's new TCO tool and show how it can help organizations make more informed storage decisions.

AI Infra Summit is the ultimate stage for AI infrastructure players, and hosts a unique blend of systems and AI market intelligence.

The SNIA SMB3 Interoperability (IO) Lab will start on September 27 for set up, and take place September 28-October 1, 2026, in conjunction with SNIA's SDC at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Santa Clara, CA. The purpose of the IO Lab is for vendors to bring their implementations of SMB3 to test, identify, and fix bugs in a collaborative setting with the goal of providing a forum in which companies can develop interoperable products.

Join the SNIA STA community for a hands-on Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) STA Storage Plugfest, co-located with the SNIA Developer Conference (SDC). This collaborative interoperability event brings together industry leaders to test, validate, and improve SAS implementations in a secure, vendor-neutral environment.

 SDC is a premier educational conference dedicated to providing vendor-neutral information on advancements in data technology. Delve into a dynamic environment featuring curated tutorials, insightful sessions, and keynote speakers selected by industry experts.

Whether you're a software engineer, product manager, or CTO, SDC caters to professionals across all disciplines. Join us at SDC to embrace the evolving landscape of technology and expand your expertise.

The SNIA Cloud Object Storage Plugfest Program provides a unique opportunity for developers, architects, and leaders to collaborate on industry best practices, expand their expert peer technical network, and enhance interoperability testing via exposure to a wide array of cloud object storage solutions.

This developer-driven program helps mature greater cloud object storage consistency, leading toward the goal of any-to-any interoperability across the ecosystem. If your organization develops software that utilizes or implements S3 or other cloud storage APIs, you don’t want to miss out.

The Ethernet Alliance is hosting a two-day Technology Exploration Forum (TEF), “The AI Future: Ethernet”, on October 7-8, 2026, at the Hyatt Centric in Mountain View, CA. AI networks aren’t just moving toward Ethernet — they’re converging on it at every layer of scale. Scale‑up, scale‑out, scale‑across, wherever AI architectures are expanding, Ethernet is winning the battle.

At the 2026 Global Summit, industry leaders, researchers and pioneers from the open community will engage in dynamic dialogues, enlightening workshops, and interactive engineering sessions. These activities are designed to expand our understanding of the progress that our Projects have made as well as the challenges and road ahead. Participants will explore emerging trends, tackle complex challenges and discover new opportunities to drive global innovation.  

MMM'26 (Magnetism and Magnetic Materials) is held by the IEEE Magnetics Society. The SNIA MRAM Alliance Special Interest Group is hosting a dedicated symposium on "MRAM, What's Coming Next?” to discuss recent progress on advances, new materials and new concepts pertaining to MRAM. Panelists include, renowned industry speakers with a strong research background, bringing distinctive angles on products (TSMC, Taiwan), research (IBM, USA) and start-up activity (Spin Orbitronics Technologies, Japan).

SC26 is where the HPC community comes together to make technological and research progress, enlighten and empower all people, eliminate barriers to opportunities, chart the course for computing’s impact in the world – and we have fun doing it.
