Dive into Computational Storage at Storage Developer Conference 2018 – A Chat with SNIA Technical Council Co-Chair Mark Carlson

An update from SNIA on Storage:  Computational Storage was definitely the “buzz” at SDC! Session slides can now be downloaded.  The BoF attracted over 50 attendees, and a F2F meeting (and WebEx) is set for October 11 at the SNIA Technology Center in Colorado Springs.  Go to snia.org/computational to sign up for the meeting to plan the mission and charter for the SNIA Computational Storage Technical Work Group.  All SNIA and non-SNIA members are welcome to participate in this phase of the TWG.

The SNIA Storage Developer Conference (SDC) is running September 24-27, 2018 at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara CA.   Registration is open, and the agenda is live!

SNIA On Storage is teaming up with the SNIA Technical Council to dive into major themes of the 2018 conference.  The SNIA Technical Council takes a leadership role to develop the content for each SDC, so SNIA on Storage spoke with Mark Carlson, SNIA Technical Council Co-Chair and Principal Engineer, Industry Standards, Toshiba Memory America, to understand why SDC is bringing Computational Storage to conference attendees.

SNIA On Storage (SOS): Just in the last few weeks, there’s been a tremendous buzz about “computational storage”. Is this a new kid on the block? Read More

Q&A – When Compute, Networking and Storage Intersect

In Part Vermillion of our SNIA Ethernet Storage Forum (ESF) “Everything You Wanted To Know About Storage But Were Too Proud To Ask” webcast series – we examined the terms and concepts are at the heart of where compute, networking and storage intersect. That’s why we called it “What if Programming and Networking Had a Storage Baby” If you missed the live webcast, you can watch it on-demand. The discussion from our panel of experts generated a lot of good questions. As promised, here are answers to them all.  Read More
