SMI CTP is Expanding to Include SNIA Swordfish™
|
|
|
The SNIA suite of Conformance Testing Programs (CTP) enables manufacturers to test their standards-based products with vendor-neutral test tools to validate compliance to a specific standard or specification. Once certified, these products can be promoted as being SNIA CTP conformant.
|
|
|
|
Now that SNIA Swordfish™ implementations are beginning to emerge, we’ve begun to expand the Storage Management Initiative (SMI) CTP to include Swordfish, and you can help! If you’re in a business that wants to officially validate products that conform to Swordfish 1.1.0 or above, join the new Swordfish CTP Program today. Early adopters will have the opportunity to help shape the Swordfish CTP. By contributing to the development of a vendor independent and industry-vetted program, you’ll be one of the first to reduce integration costs with your partners and meet your customer’s demand for standards-based solutions. Learn more about becoming a member of SMI and Swordfish CTP today by emailing smimanager@snia.org.

Understanding Storage Security and Threats
October 8, 2019
Pierre Mouallem, Lenovo; John Kim, Mellanox; J Metz, Cisco; Steve Vanderlinden, Lenovo
What does it mean to be protected and safe? You need the right people and the right technology. This presentation is going to go into the broad introduction of security principles in general. This will include some of the main aspects of security, including defining the terms that you must know if you hope to have a good grasp of what makes something secure or not. We’ll be talking about the scope of security, including threats, vulnerabilities, and attacks – and what that means in real storage terms.
