16. Summary • 2013 was a year of continued financial prudence and performance. We are once again projecting a “break-even” financial performance or slight surplus. • Despite industry mergers and acquisitions, SNIA has been able to maintain for a third consecutive year a steady revenue stream of membership revenue based on new/replacement members and added Forum and Initiative activity. • 2013 was an important year as SNIA continued to pursue its strategic programs to reinforce the value of linking core storage technologies and standards with upper layers of management functions for data and information • CSI, GSI, SSSI, SMI… and now with LTFS, PCIe and N-V M • 2014 will present interesting opportunities for SNIA: • A number of our technical initiatives enter commercial adoption and test-validation phases, • New technology trends such as software defined XXX extend into existing trends for enterprise big data, cloud, persistent storage memory, and  open source, • Our new Technology Center in Colorado Springs extends our commitment to the region and technical programs wrapped around our specifications.
