SNIA SCSI Trade Association Forum (STA) continues to champion innovation in storage technology, including the evolving role of Serial Attached #SCSI (#SAS). A recent article by Giorgio Fusari in ZeroUnoWeb, a trusted source for Italian #CIOs, explores how SAS remains vital for #enterprise #storage. The piece dives into the advantages SAS offers, such as reliability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, while also addressing its relationship with emerging technologies like NVMe. It's a must-read for those seeking insights into the balanced coexistence of established and next-gen storage solutions.

Our recent SNIA Data, Networking & Storage Forum (DNSF) webinar, “AI Storage: The Critical Role of Storage in Optimizing AI Training Workloads,” was an insightful look at how AI workloads interact with storage at every stage of the AI data pipeline with a focus on data loading and checkpointing. Attendees gave this session a 5-star rating and asked a lot of interesting questions. Our presenter, Ugur Kaynar, PhD, has answered them here. https://bit.ly/AIStorageQA

Today, Nov. 19th, live at 9:00 am PT / 12:00 pm ET. Join this webinar with raguraman sundaram and Erik Smith that will explore the networking challenges posed by AI and how Ethernet is evolving to meet demands. They will dive into AI use cases, the nature of traffic for different workloads, their network impact, congestion issues during model training, and work being done by Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC) to address AI workload demands. https://lnkd.in/eumR_Htw
