Please join SNIA on the evening of September 13th as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary! Reconnect with your SNIA friends from the past and present.

The October SNIA Technical Symposium will be held on Monday, October 24 through Wednesday, October 26, 2022. This is a hybrid event, with options to attend in person in Milpitas, CA or to attend virtually. The agenda and additional details will be posted soon.

Join SNIA live at Booth C34 at the 2022 OCP Global Summit, the largest gathering of technologists looking to apply the benefits of open source and open collaboration to hardware and software, and rapidly increase the pace of innovation in, near and around the data center and beyond.

Join the SNIA Board Chair, Treasurer, and Executive Director for an update on the organization’s vision, mission, technical and initiative/forum work, financial health, and strategy for the future of SNIA and the storage industry.

Wide-spread adoption of Kubernetes over the last several years has been remarkable and Kubernetes is now recognized as the most popular orchestration tool for containerized workloads. As applications and workflows in Kubernetes continue to evolve, so must the platform and storage.

So, where are we today, and where are we going? Find out in this “15 Minutes in the Cloud” session, where we’ll discuss:

With the emergence of GPUs, xPUs (DPU, IPU, FAC, NAPU, etc) and computational storage devices for host offload and accelerated processing, a panoramic wild west of frameworks are emerging, consolidating and vying for the preferred programming software stack that best integrates the application layer with these underlying processing units.

Kubernetes platforms offer a unique cloud-like experience — all the flexibility, elasticity, and ease of use — on premises, in a private or public cloud, even at the edge. The ease and flexibility of turning on services when you want them, turning them off when you don’t, is an enticing prospect for developers as well as application deployment teams, but it has not been without its challenges.
 
Our Kubernetes panel of experts will debate the challenges and how to address them, discussing:

At the 2022 Open Compute Global Summit, OEMs, cloud service providers, hyperscale data center, and SSD vendors showcased products and their vision for how the family of EDSFF form factors solves real data challenges. In this webcast, SNIA SSD SIG co-chairs Cameron Brett of KIOXIA and Jonmichael Hands of Chia Network explain how having a flexible and scalable family of form factors allows for optimization for different use cases, different media types on SSDs, scalable performance, and improved data center TCO.

Please join us online on Wednesday, November 9, 2022 for a one-hour complimentary Swordfish hands-on lab hosted by the Storage Management Initiative (SMI). Taught by leading Swordfish experts, this experience will help get you up to speed quickly with guided exercises and handy tips and tricks for creating your own Swordfish implementations.

Using software to perform memory copies has been the gold standard for applications performing memory-to-memory data movement or system memory operations. With new accelerators and memory types enriching the system architecture, accelerator-assisted memory data movement and transformation need standardization.
