Future of Memory and Storage - Day 2 @ 09:45

SNIA: Accelerating the Future of Data and Storage Infrastructure - From AI to Next-Generation Memory

As data growth, AI workloads, and next-generation memory technologies reshape the landscape, SNIA continues to drive industry alignment through open standards, technical innovation, and ecosystem collaboration. This session provides an updated overview of SNIA’s role as a global, vendor-neutral organization advancing how data and storage infrastructure is architected, managed, and optimized across modern systems.

Building on more than 25 years of standards development, SNIA will highlight its expanding portfolio of technical work and marketing initiatives—including collaborative alliances, developer-focused events, plugfests, and industry outreach programs that accelerate adoption and interoperability across the ecosystem. Recent activities span storage management (e.g., Swordfish), form factors and hardware interoperability (SFF), and emerging areas driven by AI, disaggregation, and composable infrastructure.
