Computational Storage APIs

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Computational Storage is a new field that is addressing performance and scaling issues for compute with traditional server architectures. This is an active area of innovation in the industry where multiple device and solution providers are collaborating in defining this architecture while actively working to create new and exciting solutions. The SNIA Computational Storage TWG is leading the way with new interface definitions with Computational Storage APIs that work across different hardware architectures.

Product Security Certifications – Who, What, Where, and Why

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

A nation-state attack on the SolarWinds network management system in December 2020 compromised the supply chains of over 18,000 organizations, including the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security. As these supply chain security attacks continue, there is an increased focus on securing the supply chain. Organizations are seeking to understand their risk exposures from third parties and products they acquire and use. For products, security certifications can be useful to demonstrate security functionality as well as to assure security efficacy.

RainBlock: Faster Transaction Processing in Public Blockchains

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

We present RAINBLOCK, a public blockchain that achieves high transaction throughput without modifying the proof-of-work consensus. The chief insight behind RAINBLOCK is that while consensus controls the rate at which new blocks are added to the blockchain, the number of transactions in each block is limited by I/O bottlenecks. Public blockchains like Ethereum keep the number of transactions in each block low so that all participating servers (miners) have enough time to process a block before the next block is created.

SODA Architecture for Data and Storage Management

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

SODA Foundation is an open source project aimed to foster an ecosystem of open source data management and storage software for data autonomy. SODA Foundation offers a neutral forum for cross-projects collaboration and integration and provides end users quality end-to-end solutions. In this talk, we would like to provide a brief overview of the foundation including our background, mission, and objective. We will introduce and demonstrate the architecture of our core projects and how they interwork with each other.

Software-Enabled Flash™ Has Arrived

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Software-Enabled Flash™ technology is being developed to allow storage developers to maximize the value of flash deployed in their data centers. It makes flash storage software-defined by redefining the relationship between the host and solid-state storage. Purpose-built, media-centric hardware focused on cloud-scale requirements, combined with an open source API and SDK, give developers tools to define latency outcomes, tenant isolation, control flash background processes, and build their own application-centric storage protocols.

HPC Scientific Simulation Computational Storage Saga

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Los Alamos is working to revolutionize how scientific data management is done, moving from large Petabyte sized files generated periodically by extreme scale simulations to a record and column based approach. Along the journey, the NVME Computational Storage efforts became a strategic way to help accomplish this revolution. Los Alamos has been working on a series of proof of concepts with a set of data storage industry partners and these partnerships have proven to be the key to success.

Storage Appliance Services (nvme-stas)

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

nvme-stas is an open source Linux project that provides: - A Central Discovery Controller (CDC) client for Linux - Asynchronous Event Notifications (AEN) handling - Automated NVMe subsystem connection controls - Error handling and reporting - Automatic (zeroconf) and Manual configuration nvme-stas is composed of two services, stafd and stafd, running on a Host computer. It uses the newly released libnvme 1.0 to communicate with the Linux kernel's nvme driver.

What's new in the macOS SMB Client

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Technically, everything would be new since Apple has never given a talk about what is in our SMB Client. We will cover: 1. Multichannel implementation and how client NICs are selected and logic for handling multiple channels 2. Lease implementation current and upcoming changes in macOS Ventura 3. Upcoming changes in macOS Ventura for searching over SMB 4. Touch on dateless file support for SMB in macOS 5. Touch on Snapshot support for SMB in macOS

The Path to Autonomous Storage is Broken

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Today, storage and memory hierarchies are manually tuned and sized at design time. But tomorrow’s workloads are increasingly dynamic, multi-tenant and variable. It just simply is not possible to build truly autonomous storage systems that can adapt to changing application workloads with today’s methods. In this session, we demonstrate recent breakthroughs in autonomous storage systems research including how traditional real-time approaches have not been able to succeed up to now.

Zero-Trust or Bust

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Zero Trust is a collection of security methodologies that work together to enforce access, with the view that your network has already been compromised, and using contextual information from identity, security, and IT infrastructure, along with risk and analytics tools, to enable dynamic enforcement of security policies uniformly across the corporate network. This session will highlight the main attributes of Zero Trust, and why it is important for storage developers.
