Bycast Joins SNIA Cloud Storage Technical Work Group

Bycast Inc., the leading provider of advanced storage virtualization software for large-scale digital archives, today announced that it has joined the new Cloud Storage Technical Work Group formed by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA). SNIA has created the Cloud Storage Technical Work Group (TWG) aimed at developing SNIA Architectures and best practices related to cloud storage technology.

The SNIA Cloud Storage TWG will be the primary technical entity for the Association to identify, develop and coordinate system standards and interfaces for cloud storage. The initial TWG charter includes the focus to produce a comprehensive set of specifications and to drive the consistency of interface standards across the various cloud storage related efforts.

Cloud storage is a very hot topic within the IT community because of its potential to reduce IT costs and lessen complexity, while enabling unprecedented resources and services scalability to be accessed through global IT infrastructures and the Internet, said Wayne M. Adams, Chair of the SNIA. By engaging the cloud storage community, which includes cloud storage vendors such as Bycast, we will harness their extensive domain expertise to develop a reference model for cloud storage that will aid in defining standards and best practices in this area.
