In 2019, SNIA On Storage is partnering with the SNIA Technical Council Co-Chairs Bill Martin and Mark Carlson to chat about SNIA technical activities. In this blog, we chat with Mark on the catalysts for new SNIA work. SNIA also invites you to check out our event calendar to meet SNIA in person across the globe in the next months.
