SNIA Industry Advisory – IEEE Media Sanitization Standard
|
|
The SNIA Data Protection & Privacy Committee (DPPC) regularly publishes industry advisories to keep our members and the broader storage community aware of important forthcoming standards and legislation. The latest advisory directs attention to a new IEEE security standard that is nearing publication.
It is recommended that you examine the details of the IEEE standard when published as it is likely to be adopted as part of the broader storage security standards published by ISO.

A Primer on the NVMe® Management Ecosystem
|
|
Storage management has traditionally either used vendor-specific tools, a collection of unrelated tools for different tasks or a standards-based management ecosystem with scalability constraints. The SNIA Storage Management Initiative (SMI) team and NVMe experts from across the storage industry have been developing a cohesive suite of management capabilities that work together to support the various requirements of NVMe customers and providers.
This TechTarget article by Richelle Ahlvers and Curtis Ballard provides a primer on the NVMe management ecosystem and explains why SNIA Swordfish™ is the only option for a standardized interface to manage NVMe devices at scale.

What We've Been Blogging About
|
|
|
|
A panel of SNIA experts answer questions on real-world edge use cases, the implications for storage, and the benefits of computational storage standards.
|
|
|
The confluence of 5G networks, AI and machine learning, industrial IoT, and edge computing are driving the fourth industrial revolution – Industry 4.0. This blog clarifies answers to some intriguing questions surrounding Industry 4.0.
|
|
|
SNIA experts answer questions on key considerations when managing and processing data generated at the edge.
|
|
|
Processing and storing data in shockingly huge numbers raises some interesting points on how scale is quickly being redefined and what was cost compute prohibitive a few years ago for most, may be in reach for all sooner than expected.

Storage Life on the Edge: Security Challenges
April 27, 2022
Eric Hibbard, Samsung; Thomas Rivera, VMware; David McIntyre, Samsung
The complex and changeable structure of edge computing, together with its network connections, massive real-time data, challenging operating environment, distributed edge cloud collaboration, and other characteristics, create a multitude of security challenges. This panel of experts will explore these challenges and wade into the debate as to whether existing security practices and standards are adequate for this emerging area of computing. Join us for a discussion that will cover:
- Understanding the key security issues associated with edge computing
- Identify potentially relevant standards and industry guidance (e.g., IoT security)
- Offer awareness of new security initiatives focused on edge computing
SmartNICs to xPUs – Why is the Use of Accelerators Accelerating?
May 19, 2022
Joe White, Dell Technologies; Jai Menon, Fungible; Lior Khermosh, NeuReality; John Kim, NVIDIA; Alex McDonald, Independent Consultant
As applications continue to increase in complexity and users demand more from their workloads, there is a trend to again deploy dedicated accelerator chips to assist or offload the main CPU. These new accelerators (xPUs) have multiple names such as SmartNIC, DPU, IPU, APU, NAPU. How are these different than GPU, TPU, CPU?
xPUs accelerate and offload functions including math, networking, storage, cryptography, security, and management. This webcast will cover key topics about, and clarify questions surrounding, xPUs.
