Top 12 Trends in Data and Cloud Storage
Thursday, April 13, 2023
Anjaneya “Reddy” Chagam, SODA & Intel; Larry Lai, SODA & Futurewei; Michael Hoard, SNIA Cloud Storage Technologies Initiative & Intel
 
The SODA Foundation, in partnership with Linux Foundation Research, has recently published its Data and Storage Trends 2022 Report, “Data and Storage Strategies in the Era of the Data-Driven Enterprise.” The findings from this global study provide a comprehensive look at the intersection of cloud computing, data and storage management, the configuration of environments that end-user organizations are gravitating to, and priorities of selected capabilities over the next several years.
 
SNIA is pleased to host SODA members who led this important research for a live discussion and in-depth look at key trends driving data and storage.
 
Sustainability in the Data Center Ecosystem
Tuesday, April 25, 2023
Stephen Chenoweth, Intel; David McIntyre, Samsung; Ty Schmitt, Dell; Wayne Adams, SNIA Board of Directors
 
Data centers continue to expand their environmental footprints, currently consuming 2% of the developed world’s electricity. This webinar will cover energy-efficiency in data centers and ways to rein in costs and improve sustainability. This includes delivering more power efficiency per capacity, revolutionizing cooling to reduce heat, increasing system processing to enhance performance, and infrastructure consolidation to reduce the physical and carbon footprint.  

Casting the Net: Scaling Management of Storage and Fabrics
Wednesday, May 17, 2023
Richelle Ahlvers, SNIA Board of Directors, Intel; Phil Cayton, OpenFabrics Alliance Vice Chair, Intel
 
Composable disaggregated infrastructures provide a promising solution to address the provisioning and computational efficiency limitations, as well as hardware and operating costs, of integrated, siloed, systems. But how do we solve these problems in an open, standards-based way? Learn how industry organizations - DMTF, SNIA, OFA, and the CXL Consortium are working together to provide elements of standards-based interface to address configuring and managing composable disaggregated resources.
 
Why Web 3.0 is Important to Enterprise Storage
Thursday, June 1, 2023
Stefaan Vervaet, Protocol Labs; Rafal Szczesniak, Dell; Joseph White, Dell; Shawn Flynn, The Silicon Valley Podcast
 
Explore the exciting and rapidly evolving world of decentralized storage and how it is bridging the gap between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0.
 
In this webinar, we will provide an overview of the importance of enterprise decentralized storage and why it is more relevant now than ever before. We will delve into the benefits and demands of decentralized storage and discuss the evolution of on-premises to cloud to decentralized storage (cloud 2.0). We will explore decentralized storage use cases, including its role in data privacy and security, and the potential for decentralized applications (dApps) and blockchain technology.
