SNIA Cloud Object Storage Plugfest
The Next SNIA Cloud Object Storage Plugfest will be held September 15 - 17, 2025, co-located with SDC at the Hyatt Regency, Santa Clara, CA.
Three Days of Cloud Object Storage Interoperability Testing
We are excited to build upon the success of our two Plugfests where engineers from Datadobi, Dell, Google, Hammerspace, Huawei, IBM, Impossible Cloud, Microsoft, NetApp, Pure Storage, VAST Data, and Versity Software collaborated on tackling cloud object storage incompatibilities at SDC'24. Hear from these Plugfest participants at our webinar, "Building Community to Tackle Cloud Object Storage Incompatibilities."
The Cloud Object Storage Plugfest is a unique open forum opportunity for industry innovators to collaborate and enhance interoperability among private and public cloud object storage solutions. If your organization is developing S3-compatible object storage or develops other cloud software APIs that deploy object storage in any use case, your participation would be invaluable.
This Plugfest is where everyone comes together, tests their tech, finds problems, and fixes them. SNIA takes care of the space and tools, while Plugfest participants plan out the tests to make sure everything goes smoothly. Everyone agrees to keep things secret under (NDA).
You don't need to have a finished product to join. It's still a great idea to come, test your work, ask questions, and talk with others.
