Where Does SPDK Fit in the NVMe-oF Landscape?
January 9, 2020
Jim Harris, Intel; Ben Walker, Intel; Tim Lustig, Mellanox
The Storage Performance Development Kit (SPDK) has gained industry-wide recognition as a framework for building highly performant and efficient storage software with a focus on NVMe™. This includes software drivers and libraries for building NVMe-oF™ host and target solutions. In this presentation, technical leaders from SPDK will provide an overview of the project, NVMe-oF use cases that are best suited for SPDK, and insights into how SPDK achieves its storage networking performance and efficiency.
What a Year It Was – and Where We Need to Go on Emerging Memory
January 14, 2020
Jim Handy, Objective Analysis; Tom Coughlin, Coughlin Associates
Get prepared for SNIA’s Persistent Memory Summit with this webcast from Objective Analysis and Coughlin Associates. Following up on their 2018 groundbreaking report on emerging memories, Jim Handy and Tom Coughlin will update us on 2019 advances in support from SNIA, the launch of Optane memory on DIMMs, new MRAM types, and more. You won’t want to miss their analysis on the progress made, and their perspective on the groundwork that still needs to be covered to bring persistent memory to mainstream computing.
Object Storage: What, How and Why
February 19, 2020
Chris Evans, Bookend LTD; Rick Vanover, Veeam; Alex McDonald, NetApp; John Kim, Mellanox
There are many types of storage technologies, in terms of how they are interconnected, consumed and designed. Object storage is no different in that it brings its own set of unique characteristics to the market. In this webcast, storage experts will explain:
- What object storage is and what it does
- How to use object storage
- Essential characteristics of typical consumption
- Why object storage is important to the future of storage and computing technologies
QUIC – Will it Replace TCP/IP?
April 2, 2020
Lars Eggert, NetApp; Christine McMonigal, Intel; Alex McDonald, NetApp
QUIC is a new UDP-based transport protocol for the Internet, and specifically, the web. Originally designed and deployed by Google, it already makes up 35% of Google's egress traffic, which corresponds to about 7% of all Internet traffic. The strong interest by many other large Internet players in the ongoing IETF standardization of QUIC is likely to lead to an even greater deployment in the near future. This talk will highlight:
- Unique design aspects of QUIC
- Differences to the conventional HTTP/TLS/TCP web stack
- Early performance numbers
- Potential side effects of a broader deployment of QUIC
