SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
Geek Out On Storage!
Geek Out on Data Privacy &
Protection
Data protection & data privacy have become Board level
discussions. Geek Out here to learn best practices in data
protection & data privacy, the storage security landscape,
ransomware mitigation, and more.
Geek Out on the Great Storage
Debates
SNIA is committed to explaining storage technology from the
ground up in a vendor-neutral way. These Great Storage Debates
do just that by comparing technologies that perform broadly
similar functions. There aren’t any winners or losers, but rather
advantages and disadvantages, and specific use cases. So, let
the debates begin!
Pick and choose the ones you want to Geek Out on!
Geek Out" NVMe over Fabrics
NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) is quickly becoming a popular
storage networking protocol. It offers high performance, low
latency, scalability, and support for existing network protocols:
RDMA, Fibre Channel, and TCP. If you’re wondering how NVMe-
oF really works, here’s your chance to “Geek Out.”
Here you’ll learn NVMe-oF concepts, use cases, and its future
direction. Want to dive deeper? There are several more
educational videos, blogs, and podcasts from SNIA experts that
will help you get up to speed quickly on NVMe-oF.

Geek Out" on Computational
Storage
Have you been wondering what computational storage is?
Thinking about how it plays in architectures? Evaluating its
current and future uses? Well, here’s your chance to find out – in
our new entry in the Geek Out on Storage series - Computational
Storage.
Start from the beginning with the two-minute fundamentals
video from the SNIA Computational Storage Special Interest
Group. Then dive into three playlists that give a perspective
from SNIA experts on:
Approaches for moving compute closer to storage
How computational storage is deployed in today’s environments
Where the future will take us

Geek Out" on SNIA Swordfish™
Need to catch up on what’s new in storage management? Here’s
your chance to “Geek Out” on SNIA’s Swordfish™ specification and
gain insight into how it works with DMTF Redfish® to provide a
unified approach for the management of storage and services in
the data center.
Jump right in with a Swordfish overview and get a broad look at
the specification, its features and profiles. Dive a little deeper and
learn about open source projects that can help you accelerate
development of your implementations, including the Swordfish
Emulator.
Ready for Super Geek status? Be one of the first to learn about
how Swordfish is growing to include full NVMe™ and NVMe-oF™
enablement and alignment across DMTF, NVMe, and SNIA for
NVMe and NVMe-oF use cases.
There are a total of five videos and four links to helpful resources
that will help you become the most obsessed storage
management expert in your field.
Geek Out" on Storage Basics
Need a refresh on some storage basics? Or want a 101 lesson on something new? Here’s your chance to “Geek Out” on all the storage basics.
Start by making sure you really understand all the storage parts. We break down and clearly define terms like initiators & targets, RAID, controllers, volume managers and storage stacks. Find out what they are and how they really work.
Want to dive deeper? There are 9 more “Everything You Wanted to Know About Storage But Were Too Proud to Ask” videos here that offer vendor-neutral education on memory, storage management, architecture, buffers, queues & caches and more.
Pick and choose the ones that you want to geek out on.
