Aperi and the SNIA: a winning combination
| "SNIA's planned relationship with Aperi will include interoperability programs for SMI-S, the use of SNIA facilities for Aperi interoperability programs, and advancing current and new storage standards. The IT industry will benefit from Aperi helping to drive SMI-S implementations, storage technologies and open standards." |
| -- Wayne Adams, SNIA Chairman |
|
- SNIA and the Aperi participants will cooperate closely on standards and interoperability programs
- The Aperi open source project and the SNIA open standards work are complementary.
- By providing a tested implementation of SMI-S, the Aperi project will drive greater industry adoption of SMI-S
- The Aperi framework will include an implementation of SMI-S from an existing market proven solution and the open source code will evolve as the standards evolve
- The Aperi open source project will provide additional framework components that go beyond today's SMI standard, such as a discovery engine, topology view, and user interface
- Aperi participants, as SNIA members, will participate in new and improved standards via normal SNIA processes
Result: open source and open standards working together to accelerate interoperability
