CSAL with Core Scaling for RAID5F: Revolutionizing Cloud Storage Performance and Reliability

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
The Cloud Storage Acceleration Layer (CSAL), an open-source host-based Flash Translation Layer (FTL) within the Storage Performance Development Kit (SPDK), has redefined cloud storage by transforming random write workloads into sequential patterns, optimizing performance and endurance for high-density NAND SSDs. This proposal introduces an enhanced CSAL framework integrating core scaling with RAID5F—a novel RAID implementation that eliminates the read-modify-write overhead and write hole problem inherent in traditional RAID5.

Inspired by Nature: Biomimicry of the Immune System for Ransomware Mitigation

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Ransomware attacks pose an existential threat to enterprise infrastructure, with devastating consequences for organizations and individuals alike. Drawing inspiration from the human immune system, this talk proposes a novel approach to ransomware mitigation using biomimicry. By studying the immune system's strategies and tactics, we can develop innovative solutions to detect, respond to, and prevent ransomware attacks.

What’s New with SNIA Swordfish®: Standards-Based Storage Management for Enterprise and Data Center

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Want a deeper look into what’s new in standards-based storage management? Join us for an overview of the latest enhancements and new functionality in SNIA Swordfish® and how it works together with DMTF Redfish® to provide a unified approach for the management of storage and servers in AI, hyperscale and cloud environments. With the broad functionality base in Redfish and Swordfish today, there are now many capabilities available that may not be obvious at first glance. The session will highlight a couple of example use cases of new functionality, including: 

The Latest Features in DMTF Redfish® for Storage Management

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

DMTF Redfish® is a fully featured management ecosystem for server management, but what about storage? Isn’t that SNIA Swordfish®?    While Swordfish provides storage-centric functionality, it leverages its base functionality from Redfish. This comprehensive presentation will explore how storage users and implementers can take advantage of the latest features in Redfish directly, including:  

* The latest fabric extensions, including support for CXL, supporting Swordfish and Sunfish   

* Metric changes for streaming telemetry

Total Cost and Performance Analysis of SSDs in AI Data Centers

“Speeds and Feeds” no longer works. Period. Storage vendors have spent the better part of two decades presenting these facts as if they mean something to the user. While they do have some value, the real need really needs to shift to ownership. Per/GB, IOPS per drive, GB/s, all focus on a single product. Not a net solution need that most people are looking for today.

SSD Virtualization: Enabling New Possibilities for SSD-Based Ecosystems

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

A new set of NVM Express® (NVMe®) and Open Compute Project® (OCP) features is revolutionizing the virtualization landscape, enabling a new SSD-supported virtualization ecosystem. This presentation will explore these innovative features and their potential applications in host systems. We will describe an example virtual machine (VM) setup and discuss how the features can be utilized together to create a robust, secure, and performant virtualized environment.

Small Granularity Graph Neural Network Training and the Future of Storage

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Current SSD devices are mostly built with a 4KiB transaction unit, or even larger for bigger drive capacities. But what if your workload has high IOPs demands at smaller granularities? We will take a deep dive into our GNN testing using NVIDIA BaM and the modifications that we made to test smaller than 4K transactions. We will also discuss how this workload is a good example of the need for Storage Next.

Enhancing Defect Triaging in Storage Systems Using Generative AI from Integration Test-Based Knowledge Graphs

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Bug detection and triaging in complex storage systems pose unique challenges that distinguish them from general-purpose or SaaS-based software. Unlike conventional code which largely operates in a straightforward user space, storage solutions must seamlessly integrate with the operating system kernel, device drivers, and underlying hardware devices. This tight coupling introduces additional complexity in logging, concurrency, and operational flow.
