SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
What is Smart Data Accelerator Interface(SDXI) and how can it help? Is my usecase covered?
Lafayette/San Tomas
Tue Sep 17 | 8:00pm
Abstract
SDXI is a memory to memory data movement and acceleration standard developed by SNIA's SDXI Technical Working Group(TWG). Join this community outreach open to all to see if your use cases are covered by the SDXI TWG. Bring your ideas, pain points, insights to collaborate.

Directing the future of our industry: Can we develop the next class of storage?
Please join the interactive discussion on this exciting next class of storage devices. Now is your chance to get involved in the definitions, standardization, and direction of the future evolution of our industry.
Object Storage for Structured Storage
AI use cases are evolving to consume both unstructured and structured data. Object storage is evolving to support both unstructured and structured data becoming tier-1 storage. This BOF sessions covers the fundamentals of structured data, like iceberg tables and use cases enabled by supporting this natively in object storage.
Storage Blending: The Evolving Role of HDD and SSD in Data Systems for an AI and Analytics Era
Let's continue the discussion with the really smart presenters from the mainstage panel discussion earlier in the day.
Storage.AI - The Evolution of Data with SNIA
AI is driving the future of Data. A holistic approach to how this data moves through the pipeline is needed, with open, supported ecosystem that can help users manage their data from storage, memory, processing, and networking in a vendor-neutral way.
Come to this BoF to discuss SNIA's new Storage.AI efforts and hear how you can be a vital piece of this work regardless of your intersection with your data and the AI ecosystem!
SMB3 Posix/Linux Extensions
With SMB3.1.1 POSIX Extensions now implemented in multiple open-source clients and servers, the protocol has matured to support a wide range of Linux/POSIX semantics over the network. However, as the Linux kernel and its ecosystem continue to evolve—with new filesystem syscalls, flags, and ioctls—further protocol enhancements are needed to maintain parity with local filesystems. This BoF offers an informal forum to discuss priorities for new features, explore support for emerging workloads, and identify performance improvements for key Linux use cases.
Toward an ISO Standard for an Open Long-Term Storage Framework TV
The arrival of true permanent and long-term storage technologies brings a new challenge: ensuring that the data we preserve today remains retrievable and meaningful in the distant future. What must a future IT expert know in order to independently access and interpret data stored on today’s long-term media? This session will launch a multidisciplinary discussion aimed at answering that question, with the ultimate goal of developing a new international standard for digital preservation. The proposed “open framework” would span every layer of the preservation stack — from how data is physically structured on media, through algorithms, codecs, compression formats, and software, to how preserved information is rendered and interacted with. Such a framework would serve as the basis for a new ISO standard that not only safeguards humanity’s most valuable data for generations, but also defines best practices for passing on our digital heritage. All professionals engaged in digital preservation are invited to join this collaborative effort and review the current state of the “open framework” initiative.
