There will be more information about this topic at the SNIA Developer Conference (SDC) in Santa Clara from Sept. 15th through the 17th, 2025.
Supporting artificial intelligence's (AI) insatiable need for compute and storage is why SNIA put together the Storage.AI project. This webinar introduces the project's goals and the standards it will encompass.
Storage.AI will help deliver efficient data services related to AI workloads. How AI workloads utilize storage impacts cost, power, and performance. This discussion touches on the urgent problems in data services, especially around how storage interacts with compute.
"Data pipelines are inefficient — round-tripping between storage and compute is wasting power and performance."
