OASIS Relationship

Objectives of Proposal, Program and OASIS Relationship

Desire to leverage synergy of SNIA’s SSIF (Storage Security Industry Forum) mission with OASIS KMIP program goals

Ability to offer first-class, accessible, modern, accommodating, private, and secure Test Facility with proven track record in hosting high-level/high-stakes interoperability and conformance testing and performance programs

Availability of demonstrated facility and support resources and test environment reliability performance – “hosting-PLUS…”

Unique source of long-term, proven expertise in conformance testing program design, implementation, management, measurement, and reporting Added cachet of program at the Technology Center; added-value to SSIF membership – no cost to current/additional members)

Objectives of Proposal, Program and OASIS Relationship – Shared Members

The following OASIS members are already SNIA members:

2 secure and climate-regulated Test Labs and ~$20 M worth of member Vendors’ Equipment

2 large Class Rooms (with A/V, etc.) and multiple Conference and Meeting Rooms

Integrated Network and Fibre Infrastructure

What’s up at the SNIA Technology Center?

World-Class “Center of Excellence” with More PotentialSNIA standards developed for Storage Management Initiative-Specification (SMI-S) and Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI)

Conformance Testing Program (CTP) and Configuration Testing and Demonstrations

Test Suite Investigations and Applications as well as Plugfests for developing Specifications

Well-supported facility for “Proof of Concept” Benchmarks and System Evaluations (e.g., SAIC, National Defense Projects, etc.)

Opportunity for Data Center “Auxiliary,” Pre-install Testing, Off-loading, etc.

Comprehensive, vendor-neutral Training and Certification Testing

What’s up at the SNIA Technology Center?

Why do the KMIP Testing Program with SNIA and at the

Technology Center?

Why do the KMIP Testing Program and at the Technology Center?

Colorado Springs is accessible via Denver and direct, features excellent hotels, dining and entertainmentFacilities include adjustable lab space and rooms, lockable areas, private conference rooms, private offices, training and meeting rooms, and engineer work benchesReplicable process and “Best Practices” in place for testing of conformance relative to standards

Code development, program launch and maintenance, results handling

The SNIA Tech Center already contains many of the “high cost” devices which might be required for proper testing

Disk and tape arrays from multiple vendors (leveraged and “borrowed” from SMI program - with endorsement of participants)Network storage switches from multiple vendors
