The days of simple, static, self-contained file systems have long passed. Today, we have complex, dynamic namespaces, mixing block, file, object, key-value, queue, and graph-based resources, accessed via multiple protocols, and distributed across multiple systems and geographic sites. These complexities result in new challenges for simplifying management.
There is good news on addressing this issue, and the SNIA Cloud Storage Technologies Initiative (CSTI) will explain how in our live webinar “Simplified Namespace Management – The Open Standards Way” on October 18, 2023, where David Slik, Chair of the SNIA Cloud Storage Technical Work Group, will demonstrate how the SNIA Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI™), an open ISO standard (ISO/IEC 17826:2022) for managing data objects and containers, already includes extensive capabilities for simplifying the management of complex namespaces.
In this webinar, you’ll learn the benefits of simplifying namespace management in an open standards way, including namespace discovery, introspection, exports, imports and more, discussing:
- Challenges and limitations with proprietary namespace management
- Overview of namespaces and industry evolution
- Lack of portability between platforms
- Using CDMI for simplified and consistent namespace management
- Use cases for namespace management
As one of the key architects of CDMI, David will dive into the details, discuss real-world use cases and answer your questions. We hope you’ll join us on October 18th. Register here.
