The change of seasons is almost upon us, and what better activity to spark creativity and innovation in a storage developer’s mind than the SNIA Storage Developer Conference! Now in its 18th year, our conference, created by developers for developers, is renowned for its highly technical content – no marketing hype here- spanning a range of storage and IT topics. This year, you can choose from over 100 sessions on Cloud, NVMe over Fabrics, Persistent Memory, Software Defined Storage, Hyperscalers, Object Storage, Cold Storage Data, Data Preservation, Security
, and many more.
Check out our lineup of keynote speakers – they’ll inspire you with their journeys! Dan Maslowski, Global Engineering Head at Citigroup CATE,will lead us on a dive down the software-defined storage rabbit hole to define cloud architecture in the data center. Gary Grider, HPC Director at the Los Alamos National Labs, will take us on a “Data Lake” cruise, and how to navigate requirements for long-term retention of mostly cold data. And Stephen Bates, Technical Director at Microsemi, will steer us on the Persistent Memory path, with the stones to step on and the boulders to avoid.
SDC also includes two plugfests. Participants at the Cloud Interoperability Plugfest will test the interoperability of well adopted cloud storage interfaces. We always have a large showing of CDMI implementations at this event, but are also looking for implementations of S3 and Swift (and Cinder/Manila) interfaces. You can register for the Cloud Plugfest here. The SMB3 Plugfest enables vendors to bring their implementations of SMB3 to test, identify, and fix bugs in a collaborative setting with the goal of providing a forum in which companies can develop interoperable products. You can sign up for the SMB3 Plugfest here.
Sound overwhelming? Don’t worry, relax, there will be plenty of time to network with technical leaders representing the 160+ SNIA member companies and to tour the SDC exhibitors adjacent to the sessions for new applications and solutions.
SNIA Storage Developer Conference is September 19-22, 2016 at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara. Check out the latest Agenda, read more about the Plugfests, and Register for SDC today!
