SNIA Draft Technical Work Available for Public Review
During the development of technical work, SNIA may make available a Work-in-Progress DRAFT version for public review & feedback. Work-in-Progress DRAFTS are not endorsed by SNIA for commercial shipping product implementation, but rather for review/feedback and prototyping work to ensure the work, when completed, will meet the needs of the Industry.
NOTICE: The DNA Data Stability Evaluation Method for DNA Data Containment Systems v1.0 has been published. Download here.
Work-in-Progress DRAFTS are subject to change. The Work-in-Progress DRAFT may be updated, replaced, or made obsolete at any time. Some of the Intellectual Property protections for users of SNIA software and specifications are not applicable to users of Work-in-Progress DRAFTs.

SNIA Emerald™ Power Efficiency Measurement Specification for Data Center Storage Devices Version .0.0.49
This document defines the requirements for conducting accurate and consistent power efficiency measurements, including the test environment, equipment, and data collection and reduction methods. This document serves as a reference for manufacturers, system integrators, regulatory bodies, test organizations and information technology professionals who are interested in evaluating the power efficiency of individual storage devices.
Smart Data Accelerator Interface (SDXI) Specification v1.0.3r5
The Smart Data Accelerator Interface (SDXI) is a standard for a memory-to-memory Data Mover and acceleration interface.
Computational Storage API v1.0.10
This SNIA Standard defines the interface between an application and a
Computational Storage Device (CSx). For each CSx there needs to be a library that
performs the mapping from the functions in this standard and the CSx on the specific
interface for that CSx.
Computational Storage Architecture and Programming Model v1.0.6
This specification focuses on defining the capabilities and actions that are able to be implemented across the interface between Computational Storage devices (CSxes) (e.g., Computational Storage Processors, Computational Storage Drives, and Computational Storage Arrays) and either Host Agents or other CSxes.
DRAFT CDMI Extensions and Profiles
The Cloud Storage Technical Work Group is adding new functionality to CDMI by publishing individual extensions the the CDMI standard. These can be implemented as needed in conjunction with a CDMI implementation to add new functionality before the next release of CDMI. As implementation experience is gained and interoperable implementations are tested, these extensions will be made part of the next release of CDMI.
The Cloud Storage TWG will also be publishing profiles of CDMI that scope it down to specific use cases based on different types of clouds.
See the dedicated web page DRAFT CDMI Extensions and Profiles for additional information.
Swordfish Scalable Storage Management API
The Swordfish Scalable Storage Management API defines a RESTful interface and a standardized data model to
provide a scalable, customer-centric interface for managing storage and related data services.
