• Focus on hybrid and multi-cloud deployments
• Top use cases for cloud storage services
• The impact of open source and data and storage

Top 12 Trends in Data and Cloud Storage

Cybercriminals have always been about data – stealing data, compromising data, holding data hostage. Businesses continue to respond with malware detection on laptops and networks to protect data and prevent breaches, so why should storage be left out?  Storage houses what the bad actors are targeting - your data.  Is there anything we can do from within the storage layer to further enhance defense in depth?  
 
Enter "Cyberstorage", a term coined by Gartner, which is defined as doing threat detection and response in storage software or hardware. A parallel, related trend in the security industry is eXtended Detection and Response (XDR) which shifts some of the threat detection from centralized security monitoring tools (SIEMs) down into each domain (e.g., endpoint, network) for faster detection and automated response.  Factor in the growing impact of ransomware and all these forces are driving the need to find creative, new ways to detect malware, including from inside the storage domain.   
 
In this session we'll discuss:
• Cyberstorage and XDR – what are these emerging trends?
• Threat detection and response methods through a storage lens
• Possible approaches for detection when used in conjunction with security tooling
• Why silos between security and storage need to be addressed for successful threat detection

Cyberstorage and XDR: Threat Detection through a Storage Lens

Industry analysts predict Deep Learning will account for the majority of cloud workloads. Additionally, training of Deep Learning models will represent the majority of server applications in the next few years. Among Deep Learning workloads, foundation models -- a new class of AI models that are trained on broad data (typically via self-supervision) using billions of parameters – are expected to consume the majority of the infrastructure.
 
This webcast will discuss how Deep Learning models are gaining prominence in various industries, and provide examples of the benefits of AI adoption. We’ll enumerate considerations for selection of Deep Learning infrastructure in on-premises and cloud datacenters. Our presentation will include an assessment of various solution approaches, and identify challenges faced by enterprises in their adoption of AI and Deep Learning technologies. We’ll answer questions like:
·       What benefits are enterprises enjoying from innovations in AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning?
·       How should cost, performance, and flexibility be traded off when designing deep learning infrastructure?
·       How are cloud native AI software stacks such as Kubernetes being leveraged by organizations to reduce complexity with rapidly evolving software stacks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.)?
·       What are the challenges in operationalizing Deep Learning infrastructure?
·       How can Deep Learning solutions scale?
·       Besides cost, time-to-train, data storage capacity and data bandwidth, what else should be considered when selecting a Deep Learning infrastructure?

Where do companies see the industry going with regard to persistent memory? With the improvement of SSD and DRAM I/O over CXL, the overlap of CXL and NVMe, high density persistent memory, and memory-semantic SSDs, there is a lot to talk about! Our panel of experts will widen the lens on persistent memory, take a system level approach, and see how the persistent memory landscape is being redefined.

Persistent Memory Trends - A Panel Discussion

A new class of cloud and datacenter infrastructure is emerging into the marketplace. This new infrastructure element, often referred to as Data Processing Unit (DPU), Infrastructure Processing Unit (IPU) or xPU as a general term, takes the form of a server hosted PCIe add-in card or on-board chip(s), containing one or more ASIC’s or FPGA's, usually anchored around a single powerful SoC device. 

The OPI project has been created to foster the emergence of an open and creative software ecosystem for DPU/IPU based cloud infrastructure. The project intends to delineate what a DPU/IPU is, to loosely define a framework(s) and architecture for a DPU/IPU-based software stack(s) applicable to any vendors hardware solution, to allow the creation of a rich open- source application ecosystem, to integrate with existing open-source projects aligned to the same vision such as the Linux kernel, IPDK.io, DPDK and SPDK to create new APIs for interaction with and between the elements of the DPU/IPU ecosystem:
• the DPU/IPU hardware 
• DPU/IPU hosted applications 
• the host node 
• remote provisioning software 
• remote orchestration software

Learning Objectives: 
• OPI introduction 
• OPI workstream definitions and status 
• How you too can contribute to OPI

An Introduction to the OPI (Open Programmable Infrastructure) Project

Have you ever wondered how intelligent Industry 4.0 factories or smart cities of the future will process massive amounts of sensor and machine data? What you may not expect is a digital twin will most likely play a role. A digital twin is a virtual representation of an object, system or process that spans its lifecycle, is updated from real-time data, and uses simulation, machine learning and reasoning to help decision-making. Digital twins can be used to help answer what-if AI-analytics questions, yield insights on business objectives and make recommendations on how to control or improve outcomes.

This webinar will introduce digital twin usage in edge IoT applications, highlighting what is available today, what to expect in the next couple of years, and what the future holds.  We will provide examples of how digital twin methods help capture virtual representation of real-world entities and processes, discussing: 

• What is driving the edge IoT need 
• Data analytics problems solved by digital twins
• How digital twins are being used today, tomorrow and beyond
• Use cases: adaptive agile factories, massive data generation across industries, and system of systems processes
• Why this is a technology and trend that is here to stay

Journey to the Center of Massive Data: Digital Twins

Using software to perform memory copies has been the gold standard for applications performing memory-to-memory data movement or system memory operations. With new accelerators and memory types enriching the system architecture, accelerator-assisted memory data movement and transformation need standardization.

SNIA's Smart Data Accelerator Interface (SDXI) Technical Work Group (TWG) is at the forefront of standardizing this. The SDXI TWG is designing an industry-open standard for a memory-to-memory data movement and acceleration interface that is – Extensible, Forward-compatible, and Independent of I/O interconnect technology. A candidate for the v1.0 SNIA SDXI standard is now in review.

Adjacently, Compute Express Link™ (CXL™) is an industry-supported Cache-Coherent Interconnect for Processors, Memory Expansion, and Accelerators. CXL is designed to be an industry-open standard interface for high-speed communications, as accelerators are increasingly used to complement CPUs in support of emerging applications such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

In this webcast, we will: 
• Introduce SDXI and CXL 
• Discuss data movement needs in a CXL ecosystem  
• Cover SDXI advantages in a CXL interconnect

What’s in a Name? Memory Semantics and Data Movement with CXL™ and SDXI

The race to the cloud over the past two decades has been fast and furious. The ease and flexibility of turning on services when you want them, turning them off when you don’t, is an enticing prospect for developers as well as application deployment teams, but it has not been without its challenges. Many cite expanding costs, data sovereignty, or security as reasons for repatriation of workloads, but what about other factors, such as data gravity, latency, and extending workloads to the edge?

Kubernetes platforms offer a unique cloud-like experience — all the flexibility, elasticity, and ease of use — with the added benefit of a common user experience regardless of where it is deployed — on premises, in a private or public cloud, even at the edge. It also allows organizations to run different workloads on different underlying platforms by abstracting the system layer, creating a seamless hybrid and multicloud strategy. We even see more and more service providers offering Containers-as-a-Service regardless of where the physical infrastructure resides.

Our panel of experts will debate these issues, discussing:
• So how are all these trends coming together?
• Is cloud repatriation really a thing? 
• How are traditional hardware vendors reinventing themselves to compete? 
• Where does the data live? 
• How is the data accessed? 
• What workloads are emerging?

Organizations are adopting containers at an increasingly rapid rate. In fact, there are few organizations that haven’t implemented containers in their environment today. DevOps expect a flexible, seamless development, deployment and orchestration experience. With platform agnostic capabilities and a stateless container design, Kubernetes streamlines these processes – and with the contribution of persistent, cloud native storage, stateful information becomes reality along with advanced storage capabilities including features such as snapshots, rollbacks, etc.

Storage implications for Kubernetes will be the topic of this live webcast where storage experts from the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) and Kubernetes experts from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) will discuss: 

• Key storage attributes of cloud native storage for Kubernetes
• How do we use cloud native storage in Kubernetes environments?  
• Workloads and real-world use cases

This webcast will help you better understand and address storage and persistent data challenges in a Kubernetes environment.

What do you think is a more secure way of securely removing data from a hard drive - putting it through a shredder, or doing an instant secure erase? The answer might surprise you!  Companies go to great lengths to secure their data and prevent confidential information from being made available to others. When a company is done using its ICT equipment, including the storage device, it is important to render the data inaccessible. Sanitization is process or method to render access to target data on storage media infeasible for a given level of effort. SSDs and HDDs have various security features that make this sanitization quick, secure, and verifiable. We will go over the different types of sanitization defined in the new IEEE P2883 Specification for Sanitization of Storage, including “clear”, “purge”, and “Destruct”. We will cover easy ways to perform these methods in mainstream storage interfaces like SATA, SAS, and NVMe. We will cover some recommendations for the verification of sanitization to ensure that devices are meeting stringent requirements.

Selecting the proper form of media sanitization with data sensitivity also needs to be weighed with the consequences of physical destruction. Circular business models are essential for the ICT industry, as a large percentage of energy and carbon emissions come from manufacturing products. Circular business models design waste out, keep materials in use as long as possible, and restore environmental systems in the process. Physical destruction, quite obviously, prevents further use phases for a device. We will cover the purge technique for media sanitization that can be quick, secure, reliable, and verifiable - and most importantly keeps the device in one piece.
