  11. What/Who is SNIA? Track Record on Technical Work • DDF Specification • Storage Security Best Practices, correlates to CISSP professional certification • Solid State Storage Performance Measurement Specification, improves industry use case expectations • Green Storage Energy Measurement Specification , input to upcoming EPA ENERGY STAR Specification • CDMI Specification • CDMI Reference Implementation • SMI-S Specification - ANSI INCITS 388-2011, ISO/IEC 24775:2007 • MMA Specification - ANSI INCITS 412-2006, ISO/IEC 11002:2008 • IMA Specification - ANSI INCITS 411-2007) • HBA API, transferred to T11 • XAM Specification - ANSI INCITS 464-2010 • XAM SDK, NDMP SDK

  12. What’s up at the SNIA Technology Center?

  13. What’s up at the SNIA Technology Center? Our New Facility on LSI Campus -- 4410 ArrowsWest Dr., Garden-of-the-Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado • Opened in February, 2010 (after 9 Years of Partnership with Hewlett-Packard) in Technology “Hot-Bed” Area with Known-for Security Programs and Expertise • Modern, “Near Green…” 8,600 sq. ft venue with ~2,000 sq. ft. of Workbench/Testing Area, Gated Access, Lockable Rooms, and Options to Expand as necessary in Adjacent Space • 2 secure and climate-regulated Test Labs and ~$20 M worth of member Vendors’ Equipment • 2 large Class Rooms (with A/V, etc.) and multiple Conference and Meeting Rooms • Integrated Network and Fibre Infrastructure

  14. What’s up at the SNIA Technology Center? World-Class “Center of Excellence” with More Potential • SNIA standards developed for Storage Management Initiative-Specification (SMI-S) and Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI) • Conformance Testing Program (CTP) and Configuration Testing and Demonstrations • Test Suite Investigations and Applications as well as Plugfests for developing Specifications • Well-supported facility for “Proof of Concept” Benchmarks and System Evaluations (e.g., SAIC, National Defense Projects, etc.) • Opportunity for Data Center “Auxiliary,” Pre-install Testing, Off-loading, etc. • Comprehensive, vendor-neutral Training and Certification Testing
