The latest buzz around generative artificial intelligence (AI) ignores the massive costs to run and power the technology. Without any guard rails in place, what are the impacts of AI on sustainability and costs across our technology resources? This webinar will offer insights on the potentially hidden technical and infrastructure costs associated with generative AI, best practices and potential solutions to be considered.

The 2024 SNIA Preview will be held on January 17, 2024. This virtual event will highlight the significant accomplishments and future plans of SNIA’s Technical Work Groups (TWG), Forums and Initiatives (F&I), Committees, and Technology Affiliates (TA). This is an outstanding opportunity and an inside look at the innovative technologies and exciting activities SNIA has planned for 2024!

OK, I'll be honest, the title is a little dramatic, but ask yourself this question, how much data do you have today, and have you ever considered what impact you are having on the environment? The reality is, data centers have been shown to account for approximately 1 – 1.5% of global electricity use. In this session, we will explore what sustainability is, and I will give you a hint, it’s not just environmental.

Object Storage has firmly established itself as a cornerstone of modern data centers and cloud infrastructure. Ensuring API compatibility has become crucial for object storage developers who want to benefit from the wide ecosystem of existing applications. However, achieving compatibility can be challenging due to the complexity and variety of the APIs, access control mechanisms, and performance and scalability requirements.

SNIA is pleased to be an Association Sponsor of MemCon 2024 which breaks down the memory wall for practitioners working on data-heavy workloads with an agenda of enterprise data experts discussing systems design and emerging technologies. SNIA colleagues and friends can receive a 15% discount on tickets by using the code SNIA15. Register here.

Any discussion about storage systems is incomplete without the mention of Throughput, IOPs, and Latency. But what exactly do these terms mean and why are they important?

Workloads using generative artificial intelligence trained on large language models are frequently throttled by insufficient resources (e.g., memory, storage, compute, or network dataflow bottlenecks). If not identified and addressed, these dataflow bottlenecks can constrain Gen AI application performance well below optimal levels.

Taking place on September 16-18, 2024, the SNIA Developer Conference (SDC) will bring the global developer community together to collaborate and network through the sharing of ideas, industry developments and best practices.

Emerging memories are now found in multiple applications both as stand-alone chips and embedded into systems on chips (SoCs) as they replace established technologies, including SRAM, NOR flash, and DRAM. In this webinar, SNIA CMSI members and leading experts Tom Coughlin (Coughlin Associates/IEEE President) and Jim Handy (Objective Analysis) will discuss the latest developments in MRAM, ReRAM, FRAM, PCM, and other new memory technologies to explain why, how, and when these technologies will grow, and how their success will impact both the semiconductor and the capital equipment markets.

Industry experts from SNIA, Applied Research, Microsoft, and Objective Analysis will participate in a panel discussion to explore trends in memory and storage, CXL, and high bandwidth memory innovations, and how they will affect our future applications. This webinar will give you a preview into the topics and sessions at MemCon on March 26-27, 2024 in Mountain View CA, where SNIA is an Association Partner. This webinar is hosted by Memcon in Partnership with SNIA.
