SNIA Tutorial Submissions for SPDEcon

Thank you for your interest in submitting a tutorial proposal for SPDEcon (Storage Plumbing and Data Engineering Conference).

Specifically differentiated from both SNW and Storage Developer Conference (SDC), SNIA’s new storage industry event, the Storage Plumbing and Data Engineering Conference (SPDEcon, pronounced “Speedy-con”), is targeted for “hardcore” storage development and data engineering experts whose positions may involve configuring, integrating, and supporting storage and data management solutions – often referred to as the “storage plumbing.”

Sessions planned such as those listed below should provide insights into such technology areas as file systems, IO, storage system tuning and performance enhancement. Presentations on development of in-house software and augmenting open source software for storage and data infrastructure are planned. Topic submissions covering concepts pioneering state-of-the-art storage and data management, piloted in a deployment cycle of design, building and testing are also being solicited.
