SNIA Swordfish® v1.2.6 Working Draft is Now Available for Public Review
|
|
|
SNIA Storage Management Initiative (SMI) is pleased to announce that the SNIA Swordfish® v1.2.6 Working Draft bundle is now available for public review. Swordfish provides a standardized approach to manage storage and servers in hyperscale and cloud infrastructure environments – leading to streamlined implementation, scalability and increased cost saving. The bundle also includes a new “NVMe-oF and Swordfish” white paper, which discusses how NVMe® over Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) configurations are represented in Swordfish Application Programming Interface (API). To download SNIA Swordfish v1.2.6, including the NVMe-oF and Swordfish white paper, visit www.snia.org/swordfish.

New Reliability Traces Added to the SNIA IOTTA Repository
|
|
|
The SNIA IOTTA Trace Repository recently added two new sets of "Reliability Traces" related to the failure of NVM Express® (NVMe®) drives.
The NVMe Fail-Slow dataset (671 million records over 11 months) covers fail-slow cases where the drive continues to run but with poor performance. The Alibaba NVMe Fail-Stop dataset (8.45 million records collected over four months) covers fail-stop incidents (complete failure of the drive).
Established and maintained by the SNIA “Input/Output Traces, Tools, and Analysis Technical Work Group (IOTTA TWG)”, the SNIA IOTTA Repository is a worldwide repository for storage related I/O trace files, associated tools, and other related information.

Satellite Workshop on Coding Theory for DNA Data Storage
|
|
|
The DNA Data Storage Alliance is partnering with the Technion and the Technical University of Munich to organize a Satellite Workshop on Coding Theory for DNA Data Storage on July 7, 2024, in Athens, Greece, as part of the IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory 2024 conference (ISIT2024), which runs from July 7–12, 2024. The workshop will consist of invited and contributed talks as well as poster presentations that will present research problems related to DNA data storage. The goal of the workshop is to broaden the participation of researchers in DNA data storage, facilitate the exchange of ideas key to enabling DNA data storage, and enrich the experience of regular ISIT attendees.
Workshop Submission deadline is April 15, 2024
