Flash Memory Summit 2017 Recap: Improvisation Key to Connecting to New Members SATA-IO had the opportunity to exhibit at the 2017 Flash Memory Summit (FMS), August 8-10 in Santa Clara, CA, to showcase the continued evolution of the SATA specification as well as the wide variety of SATA-based solutions. Unfortunately for everyone, a booth fire closed the exhibit hall for the duration of the conference. The SATA-IO MWG team set up an improvised booth in one of the main hallways and continued to engage with conference attendees. Soon, other conference exhibitors joined the makeshift exhibit hall. The SATA-IO MWG team was able to discuss the value and benefit of SATA-IO with approximately 50-75 members and potential members who visited the improvised booth. Many attendees were surprised to see SATA represented at an event primarily focused on flash memory. Some stopped by to learn more; others to question the relevance of SATA as technologies like NVMe continue to grow incapacity, speed, economy and market scale. By relating how SATA technology remains a relevant solution because it is flexible, reliable and economical, the SATA-IO MWG team engaged in a broad range of discussion along several topics relevant to the industry.
Thank You to Members: Products for Flash Memory Summit Displays Special thanks to the following member companies who provided SATA-based solutions for the SATA-IO exhibit: Greenliant, Intel, Micron, Seagate, Teledyne LeCroy, and Western Digital. The member display and demo products were essential in demonstrating the continued impact and relevance of SATA Technology and the products were one of the main reasons that people stopped at the booth to engage and discuss SATA Technology with the SATA-IO MWG team. If your company is interested in providing a SATA product display for our booth at FMS 2018 or would like to share an upcoming announcement for public SATA storage product news over the next 1-3 quarters, contact the SATA-IO press team at sata@nereus-worldwide.com.
