January 29, 2013, SNIA Non-Volatile Memory Summit, Santa Clara, CA—Garret Swart from Oracle identified the potential benefits for applications with the new storage architectures. The different memory structures and performance levels calls for new programming styles. With the advent of DRAM-compatible NVM technologies, the choices for NVM, connectivity, and form factors allows for greater diversity…
January 29, 2013, SNIA Non-Volatile Memory Summit, Santa Clara, CA—Kaladhar Voruganti from NetApp highlighted the trends and impacts of new architectures in memory structures and what standards are needed to make the adoption proceed. Network storage now has many options in NAS and DAS, and the key parameters are IOPS and capacity. To improve performance,…
January 29, 2013, SNIA Non-Volatile Memory Summit, Santa Clara, CA—Robin Harris from TechnoQWAN and StorageMojo provided an overview of the NVM industry. He reviewed the emerging technologies, products, and markets. Trends for the future have to consider the historical perspectives as new technologies displace older ones. Over time, all technologies the industry sees increasing adoption…
January 29, 2013, SNIA Non-Volatile Memory Summit, Santa Clara, CA—Mark Peters from the Enterprise Strategy Group reviewed the storage trends and drivers in the non-volatile spaces. Overall, the increases in e-mail-like communications and analytics are the key drivers for increasing storage. The dynamic hierarchies are aided by the changing underlying software. The hardware technologies and…
January 29, 2013, SNIA Non-Volatile Memory Summit, Santa Clara, CA—Ric Wheeler from Red Hat described some of he challenges in incorporating new structures into an operating system. The latest changes in memory structures and NVM are used as examples. The first challenge for an OS developer is the diversity of existing systems. The time needed…
January 29, 2013, SNIA Non-Volatile Memory Summit, Santa Clara, CA—Andy Rudoff from Intel the special requirements for programming NVMs. The technologies are capable of much greater bandwidth, reduced latency, and are creating a new storage classification; persistent memory. This new set of functions is able to retain data through power cycles and other upset events…
