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.

The performance requirements needed to power GPU-based computing use cases for AI/DL and other high-performance workflows are challenged by the performance limitations of legacy file and object storage systems. Typically, such use cases have needed to deploy parallel file systems such as Lustre or others, which require networking and skillsets not typically available in standard Enterprise data centers.

The Ceph storage ecosystem currently covers the full range of File, Object and Block access with Ceph-specific protocols. Standard NAS protocols such as SMB and NFS were recently added and expanded to allow client-native protocols to consume this scale out file storage.
