FMS: the Future of Memory and Storage has expanded the scope of Flash Memory Summit to encompass all tiers of Memory and Storage.

The Summit presents a unique platform for our community from around the globe to share their insights, foster partnerships and showcase cutting-edge advancements in open hardware and software.

SNIA is pleased to sponsor SC24 as part of the Open Standards Pavilion Booth 1815.  SNIA will showcase their work in their Data Focus Areas of Accelerate Data, Optimize Infrastructure for Data, Store Data, and Transport Data.  SNIA will also moderate a panel discussion on Industry Standards Working Together to Accelerate Innovation in AI and HPC.  SC24 provides the leading technical program for professionals and students in the HPC community, as measured by impact, at the highest academic and professional standards.

This session explores the evolution of transactions, implementation challenges, and insights into distributed database environments. Whether you're a database enthusiast or a tech enthusiast, this presentation offers valuable insights into the world of database management, and will include:

The key to optimal SAN performance is managing performance impacts due to congestion. The Fibre Channel industry introduced Fabric Notifications as a key resiliency mechanism for storage networks in 2021 to combat congestion, link integrity, and delivery errors. These functions have been implemented by the ecosystem and have enhanced the overall user experience when deploying Fibre Channel SANs. This webinar explores the evolution of Fabric Notifications and the available solutions of this exciting new technology. In this webinar, you will learn the following:

SNIA is a sponsor of the AI Hardware & Edge AI Summit, the ultimate destination for the entire AI and ML ecosystem with a collaborative mission to train, deploy and scale machine learning systems that are fast, affordable, and efficient. 

The high-performance demands of networking needed to support AI/ML will compel Ethernet to adapt and develop at an accelerated pace.  While Ethernet is currently defining 200Gb/s electrical and optical signaling for its next generation multi-vendor interoperable environment for 200GbE to 1.6TbE, there are calls to begin exploration of 400Gb/s per lane electrical and optical signaling to support the AI networks of the future.

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. SNIA provides and supports networks and infrastructure for the IO Lab, creating a collaborative framework for testing. The participants of the IO Lab work together to define the testing process, assuring that objectives are accomplished. There are several new features that have recently been added to the SMB3 protocol.

This Cloud Object Storage Plugfest represents an opportunity for industry innovators to collaborate and enhance interoperability among private and public cloud object storage solutions.
