Join the SNIA Solid State Storage Initiative for an “open-to-all interested” PCIe SSD Committee call and a discussion on UltraDIMM SSDs.

SSSI member Rob Callaghan of SanDisk will discuss:

* What is an UltraDIMM SSD?
* How is it different from other SSDs?
* How does a Block IO SSD reside on a DIMM channel?
* Do I need to modify/update my BIOS to use it?
* How many do I use, and what is the scalability?
* What kind of performance can I expect to get?
* What is the cost benefit of using this technology?
* What applications will benefit from using an UltraDIMM SSD?

Below are the dial-in and WebEx details.  Eden Kim and the PCIe SSD Committee hope you will join the SSSI for this interesting topic!

The SNIA Solid State Storage Initiative (SNIA SSSI) is working to better understand disk drive use in everyday computer actions. You can help by participating in our Workload I/O Capture Project - WIOCP - and get rewarded!   The WIOCP captures I/O statistics unobtrusively and without compromising your PC’s performance. No personal data or content is captured - only statistics on the types of data transfers that occur.  This helps the SNIA SSSI and the industry understand what actually takes place with your drive when you use your PC.   Collecting I/O statistics helps computer scientists determine the type of workloads your drive is experiencing.  By capturing statistics from a large number of computer users, designers can optimize both the drive and the host computer system to improve your overall computing experience.  You can be a part of history!   Participate NOW and return one set of statistics to qualify to win a $10 Amazon gift card and to be  entered in a drawing for a free Intel 120GB SSD.  Submit more sets and increase your chance of winning a SSD!   Go to http://www.snia.org/forums/sssi/wiocp for a FAQ and details on participating.  And see results at http://iotta.snia.org/

SNIA has just announced a new special interest group around NVDIMM to:

• Provide  education on how system vendors can "design-in" NVDIMMs.
• Communicate existing industry standards, and areas for vendor differentiation.
• Help technology and solution vendors whose products integrate NVDIMMs to communicate their benefits and value to the greater market.
• Develop vendor-agnostic user perspective case studies, best practices, and vertical industry requirements to help end user customers understand how products and solutions can meet performance, cost, and efficiency goals.

Initial members of the NVDIMM SIG include  vendors AgigA Tech, IDT,  Inphi,  Intel, Micron, Microsoft Corporation,  Netlist,  Pericom, Samsung, SK Hynix,  SMART Modular Technologies, and Viking Technology. A new webpage under the Solid State Storage Technology Community on the SNIA website at www.snia.org/nvdimm provides a knowledge resource for presentations, white papers, FAQs, and  webcasts on NVDIMM contributed by SIG companies. Those interested in joining the NVDIMM SIG should contact nvdimmsigchair@snia.org.
