New Cloud Storage Technologies Infographic
|
|
|
SNIA's Cloud Storage Technologies Initiative (CSTI) is committed to the adoption, growth and standardization of storage in cloud infrastructures, including its data services, orchestration and management, and the promotion of portability of data in multi-cloud environments. Check out this new infographic to learn what the CSTI has been up to and how you can get involved.

At the SNIA Networking Storage Forum (NSF) webcast “How Fibre Channel Hosts and Targets Really Communicate” Fibre Channel (FC) experts explained exactly how Fibre Channel works, starting with the basics on the FC networking stack, link initialization, port types, and flow control, and then dove into the details on host/target logins and host/target IO. It was a great tutorial on Fibre Channel. Check out the answers to all the questions the audience asked.

SNIA Sponsors Open Standards Pavilion at SC’21
|
|
To spotlight open standards that enable multiple implementations of the latest technologies to be delivered to the market, SNIA is being joined by five leading organizations in a dedicated Open Standards Pavilion at SC’21 Nov. 14-19 in St. Louis in booth 1507.
SNIA’s Storage Management Initiative (SMI) and Compute, Memory, and Storage Initiative (CMSI) will be represented along with the CXL™ Consortium, Ethernet Alliance, Fibre Channel Industry Association, GenZ Consortium™, and OpenFabrics Alliance™. Representatives will be on hand to discuss tcomputational storage, CXL, Ethernet, Fibre Channel, Gen-Z, open fabrics, persistent memory, SNIA Swordfish™, SSD, and SFF standards.

NVMe-oF: Discovery Automation for NVMe IP-based SANs
November 4, 2021
Erik Smith, Dell Technologies; Curtis Ballard, HPE; Tom Friend, Illuminosi
NVMe® IP-based SANs (including TCP, RoCE, iWARP) have the potential to provide significant benefits in application environments ranging from the Edge to the Data Center. However, before we can fully unlock NVMe IP-based SAN’s potential, we first need to overcome the NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) discovery problem specific to IP-based fabrics. Several companies have been collaborating on innovations that simplify and automate the discovery process used with NVMe IP-based SANs.
Object Storage: Trends, Use Cases
November 16, 2021
David McIntyre, Samsung; Jon Toor, Cloudian; Alex McDonald, SNIA NSF Vice Chair, Christine McMonigal, Intel
Storing objects has become commonplace. Object storage provides bulk and undifferentiated storage for unstructured data like photos, video & audio, DNA sequences, files, and backups. It can even protect against ransomware. Object access is also simplified because there are no built-in hierarchies or filesystems of objects, and no devices to manage that look like disks. This discussion will cover:
- Object storage characteristics
- The differences and similarities between object and key value storage
- Security options unique to object storage including ransomware mitigation
- Why use object storage: Use cases and applications
- Object storage and containers: Why Kubernetes’ COSI (Container Object Storage Interface)?
Revving Up Storage for Automotive
December 7, 2021
Ryan Suzuki, Samsung; John Kim, NVIDIA, Tom Friend, Illuminosi
The automotive industry is effectively transforming the vehicle into a data center on wheels. Connectedness, autonomous driving, and media & entertainment bring in more and more storage onboard and into the networked data centers. But all the storage in (and for) a car is not created equal. There are 10s if not 100s of different processors on the car. Some are attached to storage and some are not. Each application demands different characteristics from the storage device. Let’s explore all of this in an informational journey with the industry experts from both the storage and automotive worlds.
