SNIA is pleased to be part of the Flash Memory Summit 2022 agenda August 1-4, 2022 at the Santa Clara CA Convention Center, with our volunteer leadership demonstrating solutions, chairing and speaking in sessions, and networking with FMS attendees at a variety of venues during the conference.
The ever-popular SNIA Reception at FMS features the SNIA groups Storage Management Initiative, Compute Memory and Storage Initiative, and Green Storage Initiative, along with SNIA alliance partners CXL Consortium, NVM Express, and OpenFabrics Alliance. Stop by B-203/204 at the Convention Center from 5:30 – 7:00 pm Monday August 1 for refreshments and networking with colleagues to kick off the week!
You won’t want to miss SNIA’s mainstage presentation on Wednesday August 3 at 2:40 pm in the Mission City Ballroom. SNIA Vice Chair Richelle Ahlvers of Intel will provide a perspective on how new storage technologies and trends are accelerating through standards and open communities.
In the Exhibit Hall, SNIA Storage Management Initiative and Compute Memory and Storage Initiative are FMS Platinum sponsors with a SNIA Demonstration Pavilion at booth #725. During exhibit hours Tuesday evening through Thursday afternoon, 15 SNIA member companies will be featured in live technology demonstrations on storage management, computational storage, persistent memory, sustainability, and form factors; a Persistent Memory Programming Workshop and Hackathon; and theater presentations on SNIA’s standards and alliance work.
Long standing SNIA technology focus areas in computational storage and memory will be represented in the SNIA sponsored System Architectures Track (SARC for short) – Tuesday for memory and Thursday for computational storage. SNIA is also pleased to sponsor a day on CXL architectures, memory, and storage talks on Wednesday. These sessions will all be in Ballroom G.
A new Sustainability Track on Thursday morning in Ballroom A led by the SNIA Green Storage Technical Work Group includes presentations on SSD power management, real world applications and storage workloads, and a carbon footprint comparison of SSDs vis HDDs, followed by a panel discussion. SSDs will also be featured in two SNIA-led presentation/panel pairs – SSDS-102-1 and 102-2 Ethernet SSDs on Tuesday afternoon in Ballroom B and SSDS-201-1 and 201-2 EDSFF E1 and E3 form factors on Wednesday morning in Ballroom D. SNIA Swordfish will be discussed in the DCTR-102-2 Enterprise Storage Part 2 session in Ballroom D on Tuesday morning
And the newest SNIA technical work group – DNA Data Storage– will lead a new-to-2022 FMS track on Thursday morning in Great America Meeting Room 2, discussing topics like preservation of DNA for information storage, the looming need for molecular storage, and DNA sequencing at scale. Attendees can engage for questions and discussion in Part 2 of the track.
Additional ways to network with SNIA colleagues include the always popular chat with the experts – beer and pizza on Tuesday evening, sessions on cloud storage, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and an FMS theater presentation on real world storage workloads.
