IEEE SNAPI 2008

IEEE SNAPI 2008 is a leading IEEE workshop on storage networking and will be held in conjunction with the 25th IEEE Conference on Mass Storage Systems and Technologies (MSST) on September 22, 2008 (Monday) at Sheraton Inner Harbor, Baltimore, Maryland, USA

SNAPI 2008 will bring together experts from academia and industry to discuss cutting edge research on parallel and distributed data storage technologies, storage interconnects, and storage management. These topics gain importance based on the tremendous need for storage capacity and I/O performance, which have become critical factors for computing systems, generally, from enterprise systems to computational science and everything in between. As a result, disk I/O and data storage on which data reside have clearly become "first class citizens" in the modern information world. In addition, parallelism is now ubiquitous in computing, from multi-core processors within a single enclosure to massively parallel I/O systems that span many racks of equipment.
