SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
SDXI is a standard for a memory-to-memory data mover and acceleration interface that is extensible, forward-compatible, and independent of I/O interconnect technology. Among other features, SDXI standardizes an interface and architecture that can be abstracted or virtualized with a well-defined capability to quiesce, suspend, and resume the architectural state of a per-address-space data mover.
Discuss updates to the Computational Storage Architecture, Computational Storage API, and SDXI with Computational Storage. Answer questions and discuss use cases.
Engage in a dynamic BoF session focused on understanding the landscape of S3 incompatibilities. Let's openly exchange our experiences, thoughts, and ideas, and work together to identify effective strategies for overcoming shared challenges. Whether you've faced compatibility issues or have valuable insights to offer, this is an opportunity to connect with peers who share your interests.
Do you want to hear about different specs that are being worked on in SFF? Do you want to hear some thoughts towards future specifications in SFF? Do you want to provide feedback to what SFF should be doing?
Do you want free alcohol? If you said yes to any of these then please join our BoF.
This presentation delves into the development and implementation of a multi-petabyte archive storage solution, focusing on the challenges and architectural choices made to accommodate Host Managed Shingled Magnetic Recording (HM-SMR) drives in a software-defined storage environment. We will discuss the sequential write constraints of SMR drives and compare various HM-SMR libraries from a software engineering standpoint.
In this BOF session, we will explore the need, opportunities, challenges and implications of emerging data compression techniques and accelerators associated with storage and memory technologies through diverse viewpoints of ecosystem participants, including an SOC Architect, technologists in the storage/memory device and controller space.
Join the conversation with Scott Shadley( Solidigm), Mats Oberg (Marvell), Pulkit Jain( AMD) , Angelos Arelakis (ZeroPoint Technologies).
Modern memory, storage and content delivery systems are built out of myriad components that provide a dizzying set of parameters used to optimize their cost or performance. By modularly simulating the components into building blocks, we show how you can quickly try many different sets of configurations. This modularity also allows plugging in alternative or proprietary components to measure their impact on the overall system cost and performance. These simulations can be built in days or weeks, instead of the months to years needed to build and test live systems.
At SNIA SDC 2022, we introduced Cloud Storage Acceleration Layer (CSAL), a host based FTL deployed at scale at Alibaba, which doubled VM density and cut time to insight in half in their cloud services. To deliver these technology benefits to more customers, we released CSAL to open source in SPDK v22.09 and at SNIA SDC 2023 we are announcing a reference design published on the SPDK website. With Intel winding down Optane and the increased availability of dense QLC SSDs, the need for CSAL has increased. Accordingly, Solidigm has acquired the CSAL technology and development team.
In today's data-driven world, the demand for high-speed and reliable storage networks is constantly increasing. Fibre Channel (FC) has long been a preferred choice for storage area networks (SANs) due to its performance, scalability, and robustness. To meet the evolving needs of modern virtualized data centers, Fibre Channel introduced a groundbreaking feature known as Virtual Lanes (VLs), which allows for efficient resource utilization and enhanced Quality of Service (QoS).
