The Storage Work Group under the Trusted Computing Group is active in security technologies related to data storage and focuses on data at rest encryption mechanisms. Over the course of 2022 and 2023, TCG SWG has been very active and has released many new specifications and reference documents. This talk will cover various documents released and gives a preview of some of the work underway. Somethings we will cover are SIIS updates, CNL, Test case documents. KPIO and app note for KPIO.

Delivering high-performance interoperable computational infrastructures is vital to meeting the exponential growth of global data for applications in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Analytics, Cloudification of the Network and Edge, and High-Performance Computing. CXL™ (Compute Express Link™), an open interconnect standard, delivers coherency and memory semantics using high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity between the host processor and devices such as accelerators, memory buffers, and smart I/O devices to deliver optimized performance in evolving usage models.

The Linux SMB3.1.1 client continues to be one of the most active filesystems in Linux with many improvements added each year, enhancing its ability to securely, reliably and efficiently access remote data. This presentation will cover new features added to the Linux client, and new features you can expect to see over the coming year. Whether accessing data from the smallest devices or the largest (and even the cloud), getting at remote files matters.

As the one of the inventors of NVMe at Fusion-io, David has long been a thought leader in the SSD space. Large steps forward were made in data processing when NVMe was embedded in the server, bringing large quantities of high-performance data into direct contact with processing. However, data driven workload requirements have since changed, dramatically: 1) Larger quantities of data are being created, analyzed, and processed; 2) Demands for performance are not just growing, but, accelerating; and, 3) Most importantly, data needs to be more usable.
