SNIA, a global non-profit organisation specialising in data technologies, has introduced Storage.AI™ - an open standards initiative designed to enhance the efficiency of AI-related data services. By adopting industry-standard, non-proprietary approaches, Storage.AI aims to optimise the performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of AI workloads.
The initiative has garnered support from notable industry leaders, including AMD, Cisco, DDN, Dell, IBM, Intel, KIOXIA, Microchip, Micron, NetApp, Pure Storage, Samsung, Seagate, Solidigm, and WEKA. Further collaboration is planned with SNIA's partners, such as UEC, NVM Express®, OCP, OFA, DMTF, and SPEC.
AI workloads are complicated by various challenges, including latency, power, space, cooling, memory, and cost issues. The open industry effort proposed by Storage.AI offers a rapid pathway to optimising these constraints through a neutral industry initiative. SNIA's extensive history, spanning over 25 years, in developing industry standards and technical measures supports their leadership in the SNIA Storage.AI data project.
"The unprecedented demands of AI require a holistic view of the data pipeline, from storage and memory to networking and processing,” said Dr. J Metz, SNIA Chair. “No single company can solve these challenges alone. SNIA’s Storage.AI provides the essential, vendor-neutral framework for the industry to coordinate..."
By creating an open ecosystem, Storage.AI will focus on overcoming significant challenges in processing and accessing data for AI workloads. The unity among founding members reflects a shared objective — to accelerate AI adoption by filling existing gaps in data handling. For further details, visit snia.ai.
