For more than 25 years, SNIA has led the industry in vendor- and technology-neutral storage standards, education, and architectures. However, modern storage implies much more than it did 25 years ago, from radically new media to different memory types to tighter performance margins to advanced compute capabilities, “storage” moves beyond traditional drives and networks. SNIA is evolving along with it, realigning with the critical changes in the data lifecycle.

The Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) has distinguished itself in the past quarter century as a leader in the storage industry. Providing vendor-neutral standards, education, and innovative storage architectures, SNIA is now actively realigning itself in response to the drastic evolution of modern storage. At the core of this evolution is a greater level of collaboration with industry partners, a greater emphasis on educating non-experts on storage, and a commitment to efficient data handling. As storage dynamics continue to change, SNIA is expanding its focus, partnering with various organizations and redefining itself as not merely storage experts, but as comprehensive data experts.

In this discussion, Mohan Kalkuntay, VP of Architecture and Technology at Broadcom, highlights the significance of Ethernet fabric and introduces Broadcom’s solutions tailored for AI applications. AI applications are characterized by their complex requirements, including large models with billions of parameters. GPUs play a vital role in AI processing, and networking is essential for interconnecting and coordinating large GPU clusters. The compute, communication, and synchronization phases are crucial in AI training, where large neural networks are trained and gradients and parameters are exchanged. Networking in AI is unique, with fewer flows, high bandwidth, synchronization, bursty traffic, and potential challenges like flow collisions and link failures. Tail latency greatly impacts the performance of AI training, and minimizing it leads to faster job completion. To improve AI networking, techniques like network telemetry, packet spraying, load-aware ECMP, zero impact failure, and credit control mechanisms are employed.
