SNIA

SNIA has over 2,000 active contributing members from 185 industry leading organizations. Learn more about how membership in SNIA can open opportunities to influence, collaborate, and lead the storage networking industry.

SNIA's Cloud Storage Technologies Initiative is committed to the adoption, growth and standardization of storage in cloud infrastructures, including its data services, orchestration and management, and the promotion of portability of data in multi-cloud environments.

SNIA is a leader in the storage industry developing and promoting vendor-neutral architectures, standards and educational services that facilitate the efficient management, movement and security of information. We're at the forefront of data storage trends, enabling the future of IT.

This document specifies the requirements and guidance for use of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol in conjunction with data storage technologies. The requirements are intended to facilitate secure interoperability of storage clients and servers as well as non-storage technologies that may have similar interoperability needs. This document was developed with the expectation that future versions of SMI-S and CDMI could leverage these requirements to ensure consistency between these standards as well as to more rapidly adjust the security functionality in these standards.

Data privacy, sometimes also referred to as information privacy, is an area of data protection that concerns the proper handling of sensitive data including, notably, personal data but also other confidential data, such as certain financial data and intellectual property data, to meet regulatory requirements as well as protecting the confidentiality and immutability of the data.

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.

Learn about who SNIA is and what we do – from our mission to all of the technical work we develop in order to help advance the storage industry and information technology.

Cool off this weekend with three breezy videos – together under 10 minutes to view – on computational storage. 

Ready for a debate this weekend? We’ve got some great ones on our SNIAVideo YouTube Channel. Check out our Great Storage Debates Playlist  where you’ll find vendor-neutral discussions on:

You may have heard the buzz about NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) - one of the newest storage networking protocols. It’s being adopted due to its high efficiency and high-performance capabilities. Want to get up-to-speed on NVMe-oF? Take some time this weekend and check out our Intro to NVMe over Fabrics Playlist on our SNIAVideo YouTube Channel. These videos provide an excellent, vendor-neutral overview of NVMe-oF.
