SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
Building Content Delivery Networks, or CDNs, requires distributed, localized collections of compute, memory and storage. CDNs are built out of groups of servers at a variety of locations with various tiers and types of caches. Modern CDN caches present a huge array of variable configurations.
With Flexible Data Placement (FDP) from NVM Express® (NVMe) finalized and increasing in ecosystem momentum, it has become clear that implementation choices are becoming a real differentiator among FDP drive configurations. Some customers leverage years of Multi-Streams deployment to migrate onto large RU sizes within a single RG. Some customers may be eager to mirror their experience with Open Channel SSDs by requesting small RGs and RU sizes. Yet another customer base might be examining FDP from a history of working with high Zone counts translating into large RUH counts.
This session will cover an update on DMTF's SPDM (Security Protocol & Data Model), including their strategy to support PQC (Post Quantum Cryptography). DMTF is adding bindings for storage (NVMe, SAS & SATA) as well as TCP and those will be covered as well for encryption of data in flight. Also covered will be updates to SPDM as well as the current roadmap of future releases.
Conventional security management methods often operate reactively, relying on fragmented vulnerability management processes and manual updates. This approach hinders swift threat responses and diminishes the efficiency of AIOps.
NFS 4.2 introduces significant advancements tailored for high-performance workloads, GPU computing, and distributed storage environments, elevating the capabilities of standards-based modern data centers, clouds, and computational tasks.
In this session we will cover the latest additions to NFS 4.2 as well as discuss upcoming advancements expected to release in the coming year.
For over nine years, Microsoft Azure has provided completely managed file shares in the cloud.
Azure Files provides SMB3, NFS4.1 and REST based access to file shares.
