On Demand Webinars
OK, I'll be honest, the title is a little dramatic, but ask yourself this question, how much data do you have today, and have you ever considered what impact you are having on the environment? The reality is, data centers have been shown to account for approximately 1 – 1.5% of global electricity use. In this session, we will explore what sustainability is, and I will give you a hint, it’s not just environmental. We will look at the impact digitization can have on energy consumption, and therefore the environment, and some practical applications that you can do to help address data challenges to address environmental sustainability.
The enterprise storage market is rapidly expanding to include NVMe® and NVMe-oF products pervasively. This presents the challenge: how do you manage these as part of your enterprise data center?
As the NVM Express family of specifications continue to develop, the corresponding Swordfish management capabilities are also evolving. The SNIA Swordfish® management bundle (including the specification, schema, documentation, and more) has expanded to include full NVMe and NVMe-oF technology enablement and alignment across DMTF, NVMe and SNIA for NVMe and NVMe-oF technology use cases.
In conjunction with Redfish®, Swordfish's capabilities to manage NVMe and NVMe-oF devices in the enterprise provide a seamless management ecosystem.
This presentation will introduce management of NVMe and NVMe-oF technology with SNIA Swordfish. Using an example of the SNIA Swordfish functionality, the presenters will introduce how to manage the complexity of discovery controllers with the simplified model presented to Swordfish clients.
The days of simple, static, self-contained file systems have long passed. Today, we have complex, dynamic namespaces, mixing block, file, object, key-value, queue, and graph-based resources, accessed via multiple protocols, and distributed across multiple systems and geographic sites. These complexities result in new challenges for simplifying management.
The good news is, that the SNIA Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI™), an open ISO standard (ISO/IEC 17826:2022) for managing data objects and containers, already includes extensive capabilities for simplifying the management of complex namespaces. In this webinar, attendees will learn how to simplify namespace management – the open standards way, including namespace discovery, introspection, exports, imports and more.
AI is disrupting so many domains and industries and by doing so, AI models and algorithms are becoming increasingly large and complex. This complexity is driven by the proliferation in size and diversity of localized data everywhere, which creates the need for a unified data fabric and/or federated learning. It could be argued that whoever wins the data race will win the AI race, which is inherently built on two premises: 1) Data is available in a central location for AI to have full access to it, 2) Compute is centralized and abundant.
Edge AI though, defies these assumptions. If centralized (or in the cloud) AI is a superpower and super expert, edge AI is a community of many smart wizards. As humans, we can appreciate the power of cumulative knowledge over a central superpower. In this webinar, we will touch on:
- The value and use cases of distributed edge AI
- How data fabric on the edge differs from the cloud and its impact on AI
- Edge device data privacy trade-offs and distributed agency trends
- Privacy mechanisms for federated learning, inference, and analytics
- How interoperability between cloud and edge AI can happen
With cloud data privacy regulations evolving worldwide and accelerated adoption of AI technologies such as ChatGPT, Large Language Models (LLMs) and more, companies must ensure data and AI models are compliant. Confidential AI is a new collaborative platform for data and AI teams to work with sensitive data sets and run AI models in a confidential environment. It includes infrastructure, software, and workflow orchestration to create a secure, on-demand work environment that meets organization’s privacy requirements and complies with regulatory mandates.
Since its ratification in late 2018, NVMe/TCP has gained a lot of attention due to its great performance characteristics and relatively low cost. Since then, the NVMe/TCP protocol has been enhanced to add features such as Discovery Automation, Authentication and Secure Channels that make it more suitable for use in enterprise environments. More recently, as customers evaluate their options and consider adopting NVMe/TCP for use in their environment, many find they need a bit more information before deciding how to move forward and are asking questions such as:
- How does NVMe/TCP stack up against my existing block storage protocol of choice in terms of performance?
- Should I use a dedicated storage network when deploying NVMe/TCP or is a converged network ok?
- How can I automate interaction with my IP-Based SAN?
Join us for an open discussion regarding these questions and more.
Data Fabric is an architecture, set of services and platform that standardizes and integrates data across the enterprise regardless of data location (On-Prem, Cloud, Multi Cloud, Hybrid Cloud), enabling self-service data access to support various applications, analytics, and use cases. The data fabric leaves data where it lives and applies intelligent automation to govern, secure and bring AI to your data.
This session will discuss:
- Different types of data sources for data fabric integration
- Unification of structured and unstructured data sources into the data fabric
- How to simplify data access by virtually connecting data end points across a hybrid cloud landscape
- Providing automatic enrichment leveraging AI to contextualize data with semantics and knowledge
- Apply global and automated data governance and data privacy policy enforcement for increased data protection and quality
This webinar featuring panelists from Intel, Samsung, and VMware will discuss Persistent Memory , Compute Express Link™ (CXL™), and Memory Tiering; and how the ecosystem is working together to provide solutions for memory tiering using CXL for customer use cases.
Explore the exciting and rapidly evolving world of decentralized storage and how it is bridging the gap between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0
In this webinar, we will provide an overview of the importance of enterprise decentralized storage and why it is more relevant now than ever before. We will delve into the benefits and demand of decentralized storage and discuss the evolution of on-premises to cloud to decentralized storage (cloud 2.0). We will explore decentralized storage use cases, including its role in data privacy and security and the potential for decentralized applications (dApps) and blockchain technology.
Composable disaggregated infrastructures provide a promising solution to addressing the provisioning and computational efficiency limitations, as well as hardware and operating costs, of integrated, siloed, systems. But how do we solve these problems in an open, standards-based way?
DMTF, SNIA, the OFA, and the CXL Consortium are working together to provide elements of the overall solution, with Redfish and Swordfish manageability providing the standards-based interface. OFA is developing an Open Fabric Management Framework (OFMF) designed for configuring fabric interconnects and managing composable disaggregated resources in dynamic HPC infrastructures using client-friendly abstractions.
In this webinar, attendees will understand how use cases for scaling management of storage and fabrics and beyond are addressed in these architectures, and the applicability to additional technologies.
