From Tuesday, August 5, through Thursday, August 7, the Flash Memory Summit will be happening at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Highlighting advancements in solid-state disk drives, USB drives, and NV memory interfaces and architectures, The Summit will include keynote speeches from Ty McConney vice pesident at NetApp and Jim Elliott, vice president of marketing plus Bob Brennan, senior vice president, Memory Solutions Lab, at Samsung Semiconductor on Tuesday.
In all there will be a whopping 12 keynote speeches from Dell, IBM, Micron, Cadence, Marvell, PMC-Sierra, and San Disk. But don’t worry; there will still be time for one-hundred 40-minute technical sessions and technical discussions during those three days. Also, on Monday (preconference) there will be a set of half-day seminars on error-correcting codes, PCI Express, NVMe, and introduction to SSDs.
The exhibits area is open Wednesday from noon to 7 p.m. and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.. There will be about 70 companies exhibiting.
Here are just a few of the exhibitors:
In booth 304 you will discover the IBM FlashSystem V840 software-defined flash system. This system accelerates critical business applications with IBM MicroLatency and, with the use of real-time compression, delivers flash for less than the total cost of disk. The unit scales to 1.6 PB of effective capacity and up to 2.5 million IOPS.

Dell will be on hand in booth 606 to show you their Fluid Cache for SAN that provides extraordinary I/O performance for applications such as OLTP and VDI. Using a cache pool of servers with flash, it can scale up to meet workload demand.
NetApp in booth 217 will let you peek at its NetApp EF550 all-flash array that helps companies create a competitive edge by delivering consistent, predictable, sub-millisecond response times that accelerate the latency-sensitive applications. The EF550 combines extreme performance, enterprise-grade reliability, and 99.9999% availability.
Diablo Technologies will be in booth 110 explaining the virtues of Memory Channel Storage that out-performs PCIe-based architectures by maximizing parallelism and cutting complexity. The memory system interface virtually eliminates the latency overhead associated with data persistence allowing applications to perform several million IOPS with ease.
