SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
SMI-S Conformant Provider Software
Important Notice:
The SNIA Storage Management Initiative (SMI) is shifting focus to investment in the SNIA Swordfish® Conformance Test Program. The existing SMI-S portion of CTP will no longer be accepting requests for conformance certification after November 30, 2022. After this date, vendors will no longer be able to obtain conformance certification from SNIA for SMI-S implementations, but can continue to obtain vendor-neutral conformance certification for SNIA Swordfish.
Resources are being reallocated to accelerate development of the Swordfish CTP to provide consumers with a way to verify that storage products conform to the Swordfish storage management standard.
SNIA continues to invest in Swordfish to support next-generation technologies, including NVMe-based storage. To that end, SNIA ended development of the SMI-S standard in 2020 and will not be making further investments in SMI-S.
Swordfish is designed to meet the storage management needs of current and next generation products and SNIA is actively developing the Swordfish standard. To learn more about the Swordfish CTP program capabilities and features,

Companies
The following companies have successfully completed testing using the Storage Networking Industry Association's SMI-Provider test. The SMI-Provider test validates conformance to the Storage Management Initiative Specification also known as the SMI-S.
This page shows the companies that have tested against the SMI-Provider Test at a version which tests the Storage Management Initiative Specification versions 1.5.0, 1.6.0, 1.6.1 and 1.8.0.
Click on the hyperlink to either version 1.5.0, 1.6.0, 1.6.1 or 1.8.0 to see the results of testing for the company with respect to the most recent set of tests offered by the SNIA's Conformance Testing Program. Click on the Archive link to be taken to the archive page which will direct you to test results which are older than version 1.5.0 of SMI-S.
