SNIA on Data

SNIA's Data-Centric Focus

For over 25 years, SNIA has been committed to its mission of worldwide leadership developing and promoting architectures, standards, education and vendor-neutral collaboration. Our focus is on the transport, storage, acceleration, format, protection, and optimization of infrastructure for data.

Accelerate Data

Protect Data

Optimize Infrastructure for Data

Store Data

Transport Data

Format Data

Accelerate Data

Accelerate: Move processing to the data

Technologies that move processing closer to the data, enabling improvements in application performance and/or infrastructure efficiency through the integration of compute resources (outside of the traditional compute & memory architecture) either directly with storage or between the host and the storage.

Areas of Interest:

Protect Data

Protect: Secure and protect data

Security is concerned with securing data storage systems and ecosystems and the data that resides on these systems. Storage security represents the convergence of the storage, networking, and security disciplines, technologies, and methodologies for the purpose of protecting and securing digital assets.
 
Data protection is the process of safeguarding important data from corruption, compromise or loss and providing the capability to restore the data to a functional state should something happen to render the data inaccessible or unusable.

Areas of Interest:

  • Data Sanitization
  • Data Privacy
  • Storage Management Security
  • Fibre Channel Security

Optimize Infrastructure for Data

Optimize Infrastructure: Optimize how data environments are configured and managed

Optimize Infrastructure for configuration, management, and monitoring of data environments to reduce the consumption of space, power, and other resources required.

Areas of Interest:

Store Data

Store: Representation of data on storage media

Data Storage is a function that records data and supports retrieval, enabling technologies for the storage of data and supporting representation of data on various types of storage media.

Areas of Interest: 

Transport Data

Transport: Move data between physical locations

Data Transport is concerned with the specification of mechanisms and technologies
that define how data can be moved between physical locations, such as via connectors, cables, transceivers, and protocols.

Areas of Interest: 

Format Data

Format: Different formats to access stored data

Data Formats cover different formats for the format and structure of data, together with its associated metadata.
