New SNIA Standard: DNA Stability Evaluation Method for DNA Data Storage Containment Systems
|
|
|
The DNA Stability Evaluation Method for DNA Data Storage Containment Systems defines a standard procedure to measure and a standard metric to characterize the molecular stability of DNA in a DNA Data Containment System (DCS). This makes it possible for a DCS being considered as a part of a DNA data storage solution to be objectively compared in terms of how effectively the DCS protects the media vs. other DCSs.

A Deep Look at New Memories
January 28, 2025
Tom Coughlin, Coughlin Associates
Jim Handy, Objective Analysis
Moderator: Arthur Sainio, SNIA PM Special Interest Group Co-Chair
New memories like MRAM, ReRAM, PCM, or FRAM are vying to replace embedded flash and, eventually, even embedded SRAM. Are there other memory technologies threatened with similar fates? What will the memory market look like in another 20 years? Catch up on the latest in emerging memories in this fast-paced, entertaining panel.
Ceph in a World of AI/ML Workloads
January 30, 2025
Kyle Bader, IBM
Phil Williams, Canonical
Michael Hoard, SNIA Cloud Storage Technologies Chair
AI/ML is a hot topic in every business, and there is a growing dialog about what constitutes an Open Model, is it the weights? Is it the data? These are important questions, but equally important is ensuring that the tooling and frameworks to train, validate, fine-tune, and perform inference are open source. Storage systems are a crucial component of these workflows. Open source solutions like Ceph can provide almost limitless scaling capabilities, both for performance and capacity. In this webinar learn how Ceph can be used as the backing store for AI/ML workloads.
