We’re all accustomed to transferring money from one bank account to another; a credit to the payer becomes a debit to the payee. But that model uses a specific set of sophisticated techniques to accomplish what appears to be a simple transaction. We’re also aware of how today we can order goods online, or reserve an airline seat over the Internet. Or even simpler, we can update a photograph on Facebook.

The 2018 Persistent Memory Summit will be held Wednesday, January 24, 2018, at the Westin San Jose, during the SNIA Annual Members Symposium. Attendees will learn about the fundamental changes that have been brought about by persistent memory and how companies can apply this technology. 

SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) doubles in speed with the release of each new generation. The newest speed bump is 24G SAS, with end-user products anticipated in 2019. In addition to effectively doubling the speed from the current 12Gb/s SAS, 24G SAS has optimizations for both SSD and HDD. The end result is a highly scalable, highly flexible technology that optimizes use of the storage devices released today.

In a recent survey of enterprise hybrid cloud users, the Evaluator Group saw that nearly 60% of respondents indicated that lack of interoperability is a significant technology-related issue that they must overcome in order to move forward. In fact, lack of interoperability was chosen above public cloud security and network security as significant inhibitors.

Presenters: Alex McDonald, Co-Chair, SNIA SSSI; Rob Peglar, Symbolic IO; Stephen Bates, Eideticom; Arthur Sainio, SMART Modular

The ecosystem of Persistent Memory is here. Are you on board? Don’t miss this “fundamentals” webcast on what you need to know about perhaps the most significant change to computer architecture since the transistor. Learn how system memory and storage are uniting into a single entity, how SNIA is contributing to addressing persistent memory via a programming model, and how persistent memory is being implemented today via NVDIMMs.

Presenters: Thomas Rivera, Board Member - SNIA; Katie Dix Elsner, DPO – Hitachi; Eric Hibbard, Chair - INCITS Cyber Security CS1

This Webcast will provide a short Tutorial-style briefing of the EU-General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), and then delve into the Roles and Responsibilities of the Data Protection Officer (DPO). After the short briefing, a Panel Discussion with Q&A from audience participation will take place.

For the first time, the SNIA Storage Developer Conference (SDC) is coming to EMEA!
SDC EMEA will be held in Tel Aviv on the 27^th of February 2018. This event builds on the success of the SDC conferences held in the U.S. since 1998 and in India since 2015.

Come to the one-day Creative Storage Conference to make valuable connections and to understand and participate in the latest trends and requirements for digital storage to serve creative minds and create new and growing markets.

MSST (2018), as is our custom, will dedicate five days to computer-storage technology, including a day of tutorials, two days of invited papers, two days of peer-reviewed research papers, and a vendor exposition. The conference will be held, once again, on the beautiful campus of Santa Clara University, in the heart of Silicon Valley.
