SNIA’s Object Drive TWG Wins Most Innovative Flash Memory Technology Award at 2019 Flash Memory Summit
|
|
Congratulations to the Object Drive Technical Work Group (TWG) on its win for the most innovative flash memory technology award at the 2019 Flash Memory Summit for its Key Value Storage API Specification, version 1.0.
This specification defines an application programming interface (API) for Key Value storage devices and allows upper level applications to take advantage of the key value store method, independent of what infrastructure is being used. The API outlines a set of functions that access key value storage the same way, regardless of lower level protocol (NVMe, PCIe, or SCSI). The provider of the lower level protocol includes a library interface that translates the key value API calls into the lower level function calls needed. The API does the heavy lifting, freeing the application to not worry about what bus the storage is on. The SNIA Technical Position Key Value Storage API Specification v1.0 is free to the public for download.

Ready for Public Review! SNIA Swordfish™ v1.1.0
|
|
|
SNIA Swordfish™ is a customer-centric interface extension of the DMTF Redfish® specification for easy integration of scalable management solutions. This unified, RESTful approach provides IT administrators, DevOps, and others the ability to manage storage equipment, data services, and servers in converged, hyper-converged, hyperscale, cloud infrastructure environments, and traditional data centers.
|
|
|
|
SNIA is actively engaged in expanding and refining the Swordfish API and welcomes your feedback. The SNIA Swordfish v1.1.0 Work-in-Progress version is now ready for public review here. This version adds Features (“SupportedFeature”) and Profiles (now implementations can advertise when they have implemented Class of Service). It also “closes the gap” between the Redfish Storage and Swordfish definitions, adds enhanced replication controls, consistency group management, and more. See bundle manifest for full v1.1.0 change details. Need assistance with your Swordfish implementation? Check out our additional resources at https://www.snia/org/swordfish.

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.
