The SNIA SSSI revealed their latest solid state drive testing and NVM programming initiatives.
Tom is active with SMPTE, SNIA, IDEMA, the IEEE Magnetics Society, IEEE CE Society, and other professional organizations.
The SNIA Long Term Retention working group has been working hard to develop a Self-Contained Information Retrieval Format (SIRF).
The SNIA Solid State Storage Initiative is working on workload testing and identifying what applications and use cases can most benefit from solid state storage.
The session is organized by members of the SNIA SSSI Non Volatile Memory Programming working group (note that the group is seeking a snappier name).
The SNIA SSSI has a workload logging program that it is offering to end users to download and share anonymous computer workload information with the SSSI.
The SNIA NVM programming group was formed in the last few months of 2012 and had a special session on their work and plans during the 2013 Storage Visions Conference.
Industry leaders presented their view, plans and dreams for this effort that was discussed in greater depth during SNIA NVM programming committee meetings on the remaining days of the SNIA Winter Symposium.
At the recent Storage Developers Conference (SNW) in Santa Clara, CA several companies participating in the SNIA SSSI (Solid State Storage Initiative) gave a vision of future flash memory storage interfaces, based upon the PCIe computer interface.
At the 2013 Storage Visions Conference in early January ( www.storagevisions.com) there will be some interesting sessions exploring PCIe-based storage interfaces as well as a new SNIA initiative to enable optimized programing of storage devices using these new interfaces.
The company also presented data from a SNIA SSSI total cost of ownership (TCO) calculator showing that a high performance storage system using the 710 series SSDs would be considerably cheaper in terms of overall costs (including operating expenses) than a HDD array using high performance HDDs.
